If I had to guess, I think I would describe myself as a genuine guy who does his best to help others and at the same time does whatever he can to enjoy life. Some characteristics would inculde funny, athletic, and an overall nice guy. I enjoy anything adrenaline related. Pretty much anything that gets the blood flowing. I am also on the volleyball team at Baruch and sports have and always will be a part of my life.
Im looking foward to a great year at Baruch. Of course everyone has their concerns but I feel as though they will all take care of themselves. For example, one concern I had coming in was time management. It seemed in high school that I found myself doing a project at 3:00 am the day it was due. I want to avoid that at all costs this year and I feel like it might be challenging since I have much more freedom in college but so far I’ve done a decent job with it. Im beginning to find my routine and I’m beginning to figure out what I can and can’t do. Another concern I had was enjoying my classes. To be honest the only really enjoyable class I have is philosophy. It is an engaging topic. All the other classes are pretty plain cut, simple, dry, and I guess overall, boring. One last concern I had coming into Baruch was living up to my potential and meeting people. To be honest, it has been a lot easier of a transition than I thought it would be. I’m having fun in the city and the new people I’ve met are pretty cool.
College is definitely such a different atmosphere than high school. I mean in general, the most obvious thing that can be pointed out is that there are 13000 undergraduates here. There are so many kids. I like it though. You can have your close group of friends but at the same time be able to branch out to complete strangers. Also living on my own has been pretty fun. I feel as though I’m mature enough to make smart decisions and take advantage of the opportunity I have.
It will be interesting to see if this year will change me. To be completely honest, I don’t think it will. I think I’ll be pretty much leaving Baruch as the same person I came in. The only difference being that I will be more suited for the real world and build on that to build a better future that will hopefully come as a result from going to school at Baruch.
