This semester almost over, I don’t have much positive feeling about Baruch College. Baruch is not like what I expected. First time, when I went to Baruch from the back door which is opposite side from library, it’s didn’t look like college. It looks like more
hospital than the college. I think it’s one of the reason that make me don’t like Baruch.

I think the place that I went often besides the class room is library. I think started from the second week from school began; I went to library every day. I don’t know myself, and what the point is for went to library. Now, I just feel that the library just like
my house, I kind of hate it.

We didn’t go to last mandatory workshop, but we went to another workshop instead. It’s called “finding passion of my major/minor”. It’s about how to find your major if your major is undecided. I like this workshop, although I fell asleep on the workshop, because it helps me to find my major. Also, the advisor gave us a test to determine that which majors you may interested during the workshop. In the end of the workshop, the advisor gave us another test, but it’s an online test; the point for do the online test is the same as we did during the workshop. I like this workshop, because it’s useful.

We went to workshop on Monday, it’s about how to register the courses next semester, and what courses should we take. I think this workshop helps me a lot, because I got much information for what courses I should take next semester. Also I learned many things from this workshop. I know that we need 12 elective credits if we are major in BBA; and we need to take both Micro and Macro if we are majoring in Accounting. It’s a helpful workshop.

Monologue

      I’m Jia. The biggest thing that affect in my life is moving to American. I never thought that I would go to move, because I never heard it from my mom. Since one day, my mom told me that we going to move, I was shock at the first moment, I hope that it’s a joke, but I know it’s not, because I could tell from my mom’s face. I was so depressed when I know I was going to move, I don’t really want to leave. And I don’t want to get apart with my friends. I so scared. However, I don’t have any choice, because I was too young to disobey my mom. I always think about it, what if I was old enough, is that means I have choice to choose stay with my friends and family but get apart with my parents, or leaved with my mom and get apart with my friends. However, there’s not if, and I still have to leave with my mom.

I made so many friends when I moved to America, but not close to them, because I know that when we graduated, then we would have many new friends. It just like what I expected, when I graduated from middle school, I only have one friend that I was close to. She is the first friend I made when I moved to America. She is so funny; she told me that she is gentle. However, I really want to throw out when I every time heard that, because I discovered that she was curse more than I do. When I went to high school, I made a new friend. She did so many dumb things. And I always said: “you were born with a joke” to her. And she always said I was mean to her, but I don’t think so, because I just told her the
truth. I think the word “miserable” is fit for my continuing life, because I met out even more weird friends. One of them, she is a miracle I think, because she never and ever cheat on her test, and played with her eraser during the math test. I bet you guys don’t want to know who she is, but I want to tell you guys, she is Wendy. One of them is addicted to Facebook, I think she can’t live without Facebook. And she is Tiffany. One of them, like an ordinary person, but not when she is hungry, because she would shout: “sushi! sushi!” and she is Xinglan. One of them likes crying but for no reason, even watched the funny
cartoon. I think I don’t understand that; and I don’t want to understand that at all. And she always mad at me when I miscalling her named with another friend’s name. She is Vivian. There’s one more, and she is like social all the time. It doesn’t matter where she at even in funeral I think. She likes killing and killing people all the time, but is not in real life, it is on web game. I think she is happy because I did not mistakenly call her name. I think you guys know who she is, yes, she is Lillian. I don’t know why I have much these shameless friends, but no matter why, they are my friends. Meanwhile, I am enjoying with these shameless friends, and their special characterizes, because they are so funny, and I love them to be my friends.

         Hello, I am Jiayu Liu. I am just a normal Chinese girl. All my friends said that I am a lazy and careless girl, and I think so too. I only care about what the things that make me interesting. And if the thing that is not my business then I will ignore it. My mom always blames me because of it and wants me to put many efforts on everything I do, but I don’t want to force myself to do anything that I don’t want to. I just want to be myself and I don’t want to be what the people want me to be.

        The first concern about my freshman year in Baruch College gets a better grade on Political Science, Anthropology and Math classes. The second concern about my freshman year in Baruch is English class start early in the morning. The third concern about my freshman year in Baruch is improving my writing and communication skills.

        The different between high school and college is we are allowed to use laptop during the class in college; and there are no late works are accepted in college; also we can leave the building whenever we want without permission.

        I think I will become more open minded in my college year. And my first college year will teach me time management.
