Hi everyone! My name is Sarah Lin. I just turned 18. I live in Brooklyn. I graduated from Edward R. Murrow. I am very talkative person, when I am with my friends. When I am with people I do not know, I would be shy and very quiet. I am a last minute person, as you can see the blog post is due. xD I am a type of person that LOVES shopping. So if you want to go shopping with someone, you can always ask me to go with you! I love to read novels. I’m also the type of person that loves to play sports, like volleyball, handball, badminton.
Starting all over again! Being a freshman is like starting a new adventure. I get to explore the campus, learn new things, meet new friends and discover fun clubs that is available. The top three concerns about my freshman year at Baruch College are my GPA, passing all my exams and clubs. I want to get a high GPA, which I need to stop doing everything the last minute. I must pass all my exams, everything I learn in class is basically in the textbook, so all I have to do is read and memorize the main points and the vocabulary words. Clubs, I want to join like 3 clubs, but then it is too much and the club hours aren’t enough.
Baruch College is different from my high school. My high school, it was very relaxed and I do not have much things to do. Now in Baruch, there is a lot of work to do and a lot of readings. In Baruch, I need to be more responsible and work a lot harder. In high school, I do not need to buy textbooks for class, which the school let us borrow them. Now in college, I have to go to bookstores and online to buy the textbooks, which it kind of drives me crazy. In high school, teachers remind us when homework and projects are due. Here at Baruch, the professors doesn’t tell you when is due, I need to check the syllabus to know the actual date.
My first year at College will probably change me a little. I would be able to communicate with others better like open up to others. I wouldn’t be a last minute person because of the large amount of assignments I need to do. And maybe better time management.
Thanks for sharing! How do you think its going so far?
A great way to stay on track is to plug all assignments and tests into your calender – it will help you stay on track and plan better. You can also set an alarm to help remind you. Let me know how I can help you.
Best,
Natalia
