Baruch has definitely given me an experience I didn’t expect. Sometimes I regret not going to a University with its own campus to have that full college experience, but Baruch has definitely left a unforgettable memory, which has lived up to my expectations. My grades this semester have not lived up to my expectations. Nothing yet has exceeded my expectations, but i’m sure I will have an experience at Baruch that will. I think my first semester at Baruch could’ve been completely different, depending on what decisions i have made. I do believe I have grown physically and mentally stronger as a person. I think I also became more independent. I regret not devoting more time to my school work, but I can only strive to do better next semester. I know that my biggest flaw was my inability to time manage, but I’m learning. Thus, that would be something I would work on if I was given a chance to do it all over again. I wouldn’t have wasted time on a lot of things and used my time preciously. When I first came to Baruch I was still a girl who never really experienced any difficulties and someone who was use to depend on someone else’s guidance.

“Why are you always so happy?” is a very common comment people say to me after they first met me. I find this really hilarious because I never thought so. Like I can be happy, but no one can be happy all the time. Then the funny thing is when I’m not happy once in a blue moon, people just assume I’m either mad at them or being mean. I think that’s just ridiculous. It’s not my fault that once out of 365 days I’m unhappy, I’m grumpy, or just simply annoyed. I also hate it when people hit me on the head. I know that’s random, but ohmygoodness it annoys me so much and I see it as a sign of disrespect. Just how I hate it when people just tell you a few hours before you are suppose to meet them up when we planned an event or something a week ago. I just really don’t like people informing me last minute about things they could’ve told me days ago.
I was always the kid that was well taken care off, never had to life a finger kind of daughter. However, when my parents disagreed, it made me realize how I wasn’t my own independent individual. It made me think, what am I going to do when I grow up, How am I going to take care of myself when my parents aren’t going to take care of everything for me. It made me realize I cant always depend on other people, I need to depend more on myself. You probably won’t even understand the how many arguments I had to have with them to get a job. The good news is, I got a job, the bad news is it took me a year of convincing. Sad right? i guess this job was to also show people that I’m not just a spoiled kid who doesn’t have to work for anything. I know I am a hard working. Now I can say, I’m 18 years old and I had 2 jobs already. Every day, I’m just like I am so happy to have some kind if working experience, mostly in this kind of economy right now.
I am also a big fan of shopping. I could walk from Canal st all the way up to Bleecker just so I can shop at all my favorite go-to stores to pick out my favorite clothes. I don’t feel like its necessary to spend a whole load of money on clothes or shoes because I like changing my outfits a lot and I don’t like to wear the same thing a lot. Like my dress, if i ever worn them to an event don’t expect to see me in it again. I like having many,many, many different types of shoes. You can already tell that I like to have different options…as many as possible. Bag included, unless they’re  brand names. I am always going to match my bag accordingly with the clothing I am dressed in for that day.
