Who Am I? I am Krunal Zala.  I like to think of myself as somebody who is independent, friendly and energetic.  I am somebody who tries hard on every assignment and somebody who will leave every assignment to the last minute. Yes, I know procrastination is not good for college but I am learning to change my ways. The work that I actually do in most cases turns out great. As a freshman at Baruch I have many concerns. First, I am concerned if I will be able to maintain while balancing a social life at Baruch. Next I am concern if my commute to school will hinder my capabilities to interact/socialize with my peers. I understand that these grades I receive will effect my career, but I am concerned how I will maintain friends since my commute limits my time with them. My last concern is probably the most important to me. I feel since I am a non degree student currently, I have an obligation to catch up to all the other students since I am further behind in terms of credit.  Therefore I plan to take extra course in the winter and summer to accumulate enough credits so I can catch up.

My college experience  so far has been quite different from my last year at high school. Honestly if I look back my senior year was a joke, i knew i would be going to baruch, so i slacked off in all of my classes. I enjoyed my remaining months of high school with no worries and obligations. However, I am in college now and i actually have responsibilities. I do not have time to party every weekend like i use to, its actually time to hit those books after a long year. My first year of college will determine the rest of my college career. If i do not start off strong with a high GPA it will make the next remaining years quite difficult. Therefore, I plan to limit the amount of fun and focus on my education. It will force me to reach my limits and I am ready for that challenge!
