A. I’m not crying yet and the stress that class generates is a tickle in my sweet spot. In terms of clubs, I feel like its below my expectations. There can definitely be more than people gathering with pizza in a room talking about what they can do. If they only had more sports teams like wrestling, i’d have alot more fun! School is ok, not the best because I’m not struggling yet!

B. First semester is good for the most part but I was screwed even before it started. The block is the best thing to happen this year but I felt like I could’ve had a nicer mix of teachers.

C. I’d transfer out of math class the moment I sensed danger and stepped onto the mousetrap. For everything else, I wouldn’t change a thing.

D. I’m much more efficient at planning and managing time. I’ve created new limits for my laziness and procrastination. I’ve also changed in terms of being efficient financially. When I say efficient, I mean hold back on what makes me happy cause money and food makes me happy. College only gives me one.

I AM NICOLAS JIANG. There is so much emphasis on my name because…Good question Why is there so much emphasis on my name? Oh right, I remember cause it’s a name that brings pride and joy everywhere it’s said and heard. Whisper it, chuckle it, laugh at it, it’s your choice. One thing is for sure. This guy is just too much too handle!

I’m a man who often out wits everyone around him but at the same time I might seem like the most dumbfounded guy who never acts his age. I am not bi polar but just an individual who loves to have fun in life. When life gets depressing because of school, grades, friends and a random assortment of other nuances, I just try and take it lightly and not let it affect me being…me. I am generally a happy guy and it’ll take a whole load of things to annoy me and make me dislike you. Long story short, I am a very unusual guy who takes a different approach to everything. I’m also generally liked if not loved by everyone. I hate to sound conceited but It can’t be helped. oops. there I go again.

The most lovely attribute about me is my diet. I love food and talking about it. I am a man who consumes four meals a day on a standard 24 hour day and a mix of snacks in between the meals that add up to about two more meals. I am consistently eating except nothing gets bigger except for my appetite! Breakfast consists of a sandwich which typically includes peanut butter and sometimes jelly. I have a warm glass of milk and sometimes mix it up with a cold glass of chocolate milk. As soon as I complete a class on a typical day, I reward myself with a fantastic lunch. Lunch consists of pizza, donuts, hot dogs, chicken over rice platter and if i feel luxurious, I’ll treat myself to a subway foot long sandwich. There is a period between lunch and dinner which I like to call “happytime”. Happy time is between 2-5o clock. Typically, I treat myself to anything on the lunch list that I didn’t have for lunch. Dinner is the last meal which is self explanatory. Full course vegetable, meat, and don’t forget about the rice! On a typical day, I eat around 3,000 calories. I maintain my weight by exercising and eating well. In all honesty, I count on an empty stomach and a great metabolism. Boy this is why this guy is always happy!

I am the greatest man on earth!(haha) But realistically, I don’t call myself normal. I can be funny one day and serious the next. I am not bipolar but my emotions can raise the roof. I am a teenager striving to make these last couple of teenage years last. And yes, I am aware that I’ve used I several times but forget repetition and admire the content!

One of my concerns in college is that I’m at home too much. Being in a commuter school severely dents your social life and its probably better than I make it sound.
Another one of my concerns is to take a class that I am forced upon. One word, Calculus and the many forms and categories of that.
My last concern is that I might depend on other people too much. It seems inevitable where there is a situation where you ask others for help and I might take advantage of that too much and too often.
The people, their age, and what inspires them makes college very different. My Peers are at that stage where some of them know what they want to do. They’re decisive about their careers and participate in grown up activities such as internships, working and etc.
College is going to change me because I get to call myself a man, a big boy and a grown up. It’s time to suck in that tummy, chest out and realize that an independent life is a couple years away.

Hope it isn’t too late, but I thoroughly enjoyed pondering about the questions.
