again, hello,everyone,my name is coco( adorable smile>.<)
i am outgoing and socialble girl,but also can be cold sometimes. But genera. lly speaking,if i think you are a good person and i am willing to be friend with you,i will be the nicest one lol Helping friends to solve friend makes me feel powerful and energetic. I remember at the very beginning of the college year,i help several new friends to order textbooks online.i am glad that i can help them out. and that’s how we make a connection with people ,right?
i am pretty pretty sleepy in soe classes because i really don’t prefer the teaching styles of some professors. they are great ,but i can hardly adjust to his pedal. i want to try harder ,but the things is that i don’t know how to use my strength~~ i know there is a good place named sacc。i hope it will help me somehow.
the top 3 concerns is 1 how to improve my oral english and writing english.2 what is my interest and potential on earth? i am curious about everything.it’s a good thing but also a bad thing. 3 get a good GPA.
high school year doesn’t differ too much from college life because i don’t have dorm life~sign~(great pity~) when in high school,my hard work brings me a lot of honour but here,college is a new start.past is just a past.everyone is at the same beginning line.nobody care who you are in your past life.i believe no pain,no gain. so i’ll learn how to coporate with my schoolmates to achieve my goal step by step.
but having fun is also a important part in college life.first year,i plan to enjoy college events as much as possible..the second year,think about studying aboard or exciting programs .third year,i will focus on my major study.fourth year,intership.enn

Hello there! My name is Chanel. I am eighteen years old. I am from Staten Island. I graduated from Saint Joseph Hill Academy. I am a shy,quiet, and innocent girl to those who I don’t know because I don’t like to speak in public. However, when I am around my friends and family I am pretty random, crazy, and just plain weird, but still innocent. I am kind of a procrastinator, but sometimes I get things done early if I am motivated.

One of the top concerns I have about my freshman year in Baruch College would be the environment. I am not used to the big classrooms, students, and especially the guys. The reason is that I went high school where it’s an all- girl Catholic school and the school itself has a small population of students and small classrooms with a maximum of thirty students in a class. I’m also not used to the city because Staten Island is  isolated so it’s kind of scary to see a lot of people walking around outside of Baruch College. Another concern I have is being able to make friends. Since I am not used to the environment, it’s hard of me to make friends even though I know that the students are very nice and open. I would like to make some friends, but I’m just very shy that I stay in my comfort zone of just hanging out by myself. A third concern I have are the papers I have to write and the studying. I don’t know how to study correctly and papers scare me just because of how many pages the professors wants the students to write. =X

I think what makes my Baruch College experience different from my high school experience is the responsibility that I have. I know that during college the professors are not going to remind me of the deadlines for papers and the day of exams. In college there is more freedom for me, which makes me kind of scared because I have no idea what to do with this freedom I have.

I think my first year at College will change me a little. I would be able to open up to other people, make friends, and join clubs. I probably will have a better time management with the deadlines and exams.

Hello, World! My name is Wei Li. Once I was an ordinary guy from a small village in China. I came to the Unite States with my family four years ago, and it brought a brand new world to me. Even though I still have some struggle with my English, I attempt to communicate with others. As in New York, the center of world, I saw different people from almost every areas, and I experienced a lot of thing that I never had before, their culture, religion and food. 🙂

For my freshman year at Baruch, communication skill is my top concern. In class, I can not respond to professor’s question, or sometimes I could not really organize my words, although I did follow professor’s point. As most of freshmen, club activity is my second concern. Unlike high school, there are numerous clubs or organizations provide us varieties of information and opportunity. It is challenged for freshmen to figure out which are best applicable for us. GPA is the third, and it is definitely most concern of freshmen.

Differ to high school, professors would never press us for attendance and homework. We are given more personal space, but it also means more responsibility, self-responsibility. We spend more time at home instead at campus, we manage our time in completing assignment. We also need to balance our personal and academic life.

I do not know how my first year at Baruch would change me, but the unknown future make me challenged and excited. All in all, “I came, I saw, I conquered.”

Hi, guys! Although many people said i look very young, I almost 19 years old. I am an ordinary girl who is shy in front of strangers and is crazy with my best friends. This is my second year for living in the USA, and my English is still too poor to converse with people. When i talk with someone, i always say”what? can you say again? I am sorry!” This makes me feel so bad. Later, i will start my work study, i hope i can practice my English and talk to guys fluently.

Certainly, the top 1 concern about my freshman year at Baruch College is English. During my class, i often can’t comprehend what professor’s meaning. When my friends already took a lots of note, i just wrote a little words. So English is my first step to adapt college life. The second one is passing my entire classes and getting good GPA. This is obvious that every student want. The third one is joining club. Now i already have some friends who are Chinese girls and have similar classes to me. I feel so lucky because i didn’t have any familiar at Baruch College before.

In my high school, there are many Chinese, and don’t have much homework or readings. I always feel free and never study hard. But college is extremely different, every class has assignments and readings. I am exhausted when i finished every class, because i have to focus on professors moment by moment.

I think college change me a lot. Before i wouldn’t like to do anything by myself, but now i feel harmonious and placid when i am alone.  Furthermore, I take staff serious and try to work hard.I also try to join clubs which i never did before. Because in my  high school in China, it doesn’t have any club. I hope i can have a great freshman year and make progress!

Hey everyone! My name is Hoi Yan Lee. I am still 17 years old but will soon turn 18 in October. I was born and raised in Hong Kong but I came to the United States when i was around 10 years old. I am a pretty quiet person who doesn’t like to speak in public, but when i am with my friends and family, i am talkative and like to joke around with them. I like cute and adorable stuffs especially HELLO KITTY <3. Besides hello kitty, i love to travel~ I hope one day i can travel around Europe.
My top 3 concerns about my freshman year at baruch are to get a high GPA, do all my readings on time and to make new friends. Back in high school, I am familiar with what it takes to get a hgh GPA, but Baruch is a new environment for me where i am still not very familiar with the school system and their grading standards. So i am kind of anxious and have to work extra hard. Besides GPA, i am worry about completing all my readings on time. College professors always assign readings for me to do before lecturing because they would only do a brief lecture and i have to work on my own to understand all the details required for those classes.  However, those readings are boring and i don’t like to read, so i will have to push myself harder to try to read them. Lastly, making new friends are quite a challenge for me because i am not good at starting a conversation with others.
I think what make Baruch College experience different from my high school experience is that i have to study more on my own. Unlike high school where teachers will teach you the exact details you need for the class and for upcoming exams, college professors would only give a brief lecture. Also, i need to be aware of all the due dates of my assignments and test dates because professors won’t remind you everyday, which means that I also need to manage my time more efficiently.  I think that my first year at college changes me to be more independent. Until college, i always depend on my friends and family. My dad would drive me to school and school provides me all the texbooks and calculators.  Now, i started taking subways alone and i have to buy all the textbooks i need for class. After going to college, i feel like i have grown a little bit from a little girl to a small adult 🙂

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.

I think of myself as a law abiding resident. i am just a normal guy.

my concerns about my freshman year are clubs, internships and GPA. I have so many clubs i want to join but the clubs hour is only two hours. If i join a club, i don’t have time for my second  and third club. My second concern is internship. i know it is hard to find internship in freshman year, so at least i want to prepare for any opportunity. the third concern is GPA. i want get a high GPA above 3.3. i don’t the grading rubics of my professors, so i would have to work extra hard.

I was a once a student of  Bayside high School, a public U.S. high school in Queens. There is a very good music program, so i did learn alot how to play guitar. that’s what i thought of my identity back then. Now i think of myself as a Baruch college student. i realized that i need to focus more on deciding my future career.

my first year in Baruch would change me alot. i would be 18 this year and Baruch would give me a sense what it’s like to be an adult.

Hi everyone! I’m Cynthia and I’m still only 17 years old. But I’ll be turning 18 in one month and a half. I am someone who likes to laugh A LOT, I mean A LOT. I like talking with people about funny things and make jokes all the time. I usually don’t post online about myself but here I am. I have two brothers, one in middle school and the other in elementary school. They still have a long way to go before entering college. I’ll be sure to pass along any tips about college to them. I think I am a perfectly normal girl who collects stamps and coins. I came to China when I was four years old and I can’t wait to go visit next summer!!!!! All in all, I’m ME.

Now that I’m in college, I have a whole new set of concerns to worry about. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to finish all the readings on time since I don’t like reading that type of literature and prefer to read my own young adult novels borrowed from the library. I’m also worried about not paying much attention in class and then failing the tests. But as long as the tests are based on the text, then I’ll make sure to find time to finish reading. And last but certainly not the least of my worries, it seems harder to make real friends here since everyone’s so concerned about themselves and looking runway ready. Oh, college, what a pain.

First of all, I still miss high school and seeing my friends everyday. But now that I’m at Baruch College, one thing that will certainly be different is joining a fraternity. And no I didn’t type the wrong thing, its fraternity, not sorority. That’s because it’s a co-ed business fraternity. I hope I get in but if not, joining clubs is fine with me. I’ll just try again next semester. Its very different since it’ll, the fraternity, help me get connections, help me with my problems and oh, I don’t know, just become friends forever?

I don’t think it’ll change me that much since I don’t give in to peer pressure and don’t allow myself to change just so others will accept me. But it’ll definitely make me read more boring text than I used to. After that who knows? I’ll maybe let you know when the time comes.

See you guys Thursday.

Almost forgot, Good Night.

In 2011, I am 18 years old, and in this year, I start my college life. When I was little girl, I expect I can be 18 years old. Now, I am 18.The bridge between teenager and adult, a important time to build up skill and knowledge have to face life independently. From my former experience, people think I looks much younger than my actually age.
Everything goes all fine during my first few weeks in college. First of all,I have to say a good news. I get the work study job in computer room which starts on next month. I will work during Monday to Friday. I am pleased that I take the first step to become more independent and excited to work in the college, it is not only because I can know more people, but also I can fulfill my personal skill such as communication, corporation and customer service .
What I expect me to do now? I should get involve in college affair and great GPA. And also to improve my communicate skill. Communication plays very important role in corporation and social intercourse. Recently , I concerns a lot about my communicate skill, because I find I am not a good talker when I talk to someone I know. People think I am a introvert person when they talk to me for free time, but I think the words “double faced” describes me accurately .I think I can talk widely and fluently when I talk to strangers. I am brave to express my thought and feelings. I do not concern my grammar and accent , because the person I talk to will not meet me in my rest of life. However, when I talk to my classmates and teachers who I will get along with them for few years.I focus on my grammars which will casuse me expressing my meaning irrelevantly.I know it sounds weird to some of you guys. ,but I will try to be more initiative.As for studying, I start to work on each class efficiently. These are my plan during my freshman. I hope When I am sophomore, I look back my freshmen year, I would say to myself :” you doing great!!’

              Last year, I was a senior in high school; a summer after, I become a freshman in college. It’s kind of interesting. My new life journey has just started, and now I need to make myself fit in this new environment. First of all, I really want to expand my social network in college, but most of the time I don’t dare to start a conversation first because I am kind of shy and quiet in front of people I don’t know. Actually I am an outgoing person like my friends always describe me: talkative and sometimes even overactive. I think that’s the real me. So don’t misunderstand, I am not that coolJ.  And I am trying to change this weakness of my personality. In addition, I also concern about how to get high grade in college. College is a real world which I have heard for a long time and totally realize now. It’s a lot different from high school. I used to feel relax and no pressure in high school because as long as I pay attention in class and finish all my homework, it’s most likely I can do well on tests. High school teachers have time to explain everything in detail, but now professors can only give a brief lecture which means everything is on my own. Therefore, I can’t be lazy as usual anymore; I have to study before and after classes in order to pass. That leads to another problem which is how to efficiently manage my time. I am trying to make a little study planner every day. Just want to give myself a time limit so that things get done on time instead of being stacked up higher and higher. Hopefully I can keep doing this!

              So far, I feel great studying in Baruch, and I believe I will become a more responsible and independent person after the first year in college. I think education is not only reading and writing, but also can be more interesting. Thus, I am trying to get involved in the awesome student life here. There are lots of extracurricular activities which are absolutely attractive but also hard for me to decide what to join. Lastly, I hope during my freshman year, I will enrich myself academically as well as socially.
