Expectation wise, I’d say Baruch surprised me. Mostly because of the people I’ve met here. I came into Baruch worried about making friends since this is  a commuter school, but our LC definitely changed my view on that. I love you guys and we better stay in touch after this semester cause there’s no replacing LC Swag.

Honestly, first semester kicked my ass hard. I was always a straight A student and I didn’t really know how to study so when I was faced with all this reading and the exams I got overwhelmed. The only class I’m worried about is Math but after this semester I definitely learned how to manage my time (kind of), and how to study more efficiently, so I’m definitely going to do better from now on.

If I could do it all over again, I’d try to manage my time better, maybe go to SACC earlier, and just study more. Other than that, first semester was ok.

Since starting Baruch, I don’t feel like I changed too much, but I feel like I’m opening up more and becoming more of a free spirit. I’m learning to be less shy, all thanks to this LC. Honestly idk how I could’ve done first semester without all you crazies

I’m That Girl

Why am I such a clutz?

That girl that you see always falling, tripping, bumping, dropping, walking into things…? -Yeah thats me.

A pretty common question people have is, “Whats your most embarrassing moment?” Well, personally I feel like I could write a book on all the trouble I get myself into.

I guess my clumsy nature started in kindergarden, when I walked into a wall and ended up with a huge bruise in the middle of my forehead. That was a fun time, with the guidance counselor calling my parents to make sure I wasn’t abused.

That time when I was learning to ride a bike and I ended up crashing into garbage cans.

The time I visited my grandma at work and knocked over a couple of glass figurines, breaking them of course.

That time in San Francisco when I walked headfirst into a stop sign, because I was trying to walk with my eyes closed. Another bruise smack-dab in the middle of my head.

And who can forget that time in Canada where I ran out of a restaurant and thought the door was open but ended up crashing into a glass door in front of everyone.

There’s also that time in fifth grade when I slipped down the stairs at graduation…only me.

The times in junior high when I sat in gum in the schoolyard, and ruined my nice pants. Yeah, time(s), plural, because of course I did it twice.

Then there’s my personal favorite, that time freshman year in the cafeteria when I was carrying a frappucino…and I slipped and it ended up on my head…what a great day it was, walking around with dry milk and caramel in my hair.

11th grade, when I was walking in the middle of Soho, texting, and I crashed headfirst into a pole. Yeah I even heard a ringing noise.

Oh ! and the time at my friend Chelsea’s sweet sixteen where I knocked over glasses of water three times in a row, in front of the guy I liked. How fun.

Yeah I’m that girl.

Growing up, I really thought I was a disaster magnet. I really don’t mean for these things to happen but…yeah I guess I am a bit of a disaster magnet.My clumsy moments define me, I think. Having so many teaches me to laugh at myself because honestly everyone’s going to be laughing at me anyway, so I might as well join in.
