Ah who are you. Quite a loaded question i suppose. while thinking about that one must realize the subjectivity of that idea. Who am I? To myself I’m an interesting undergraduate student who is a pretty decent bass player and knows how to crack a joke when necessary. To my father I’m someone can’t be “comprehended”. To my mother I’m a leech but overall extremely helpful, in stature and in work ethic. To my girlfriend I’m unintelligible. To me my girlfriend is unintelligible. Overall, I have no idea who I am other than who you think I am. (just please like me :P) Oh, and i was born November 6 1993 in Brooklyn and I love jazz in an obsessive way.
B. 3 Biggest Concerns of Baruch
1. Not reaching my full potential in my own eyes (fuck everyone elses)
2. Becoming complacent and not participating in thing i want to participate in.
3. Getting really high the night before finals and waking up 6 hours late with a dead horse on my comforter and Justin Beiber next to me (highly likely)
C. Why high school is different from college
Honestly i was the smartest adolescent in my high school, bar none. Unfortunately with that intelligence came an enormous amount of complacency. Don’t get me wrong I received accolades based upon my academic understanding, but my lack of a dedicated work ethic still haunts my subconscious and honestly i know the reason I did not graduate as valedictorian was my lack of dedication in work. However, I am no longer dependent on my teachers to feed me knowledge. There is only one thing standing between me and an understanding of a topic and that is myself. I now realize that I have an enemy bigger than my apathy, it is my thirst for knowledge. I now know that I will never satiate my hunger for understanding and that provides me with an enormous pride.
D. Changes
I think i stated the majority of changes in my last paragraph. Overall complacency is my biggest issue and I plan on tackling that with an approach that is in many ways suicidal but also one i have a huge measure of faith in. As well I’m gonna be meeting people who are just as wrapped up in work as I am. I welcome that.
Very nice post. My thoughts everybody’s girlfriend think they are smarter than their boyfriends. isn’t it?
I love concern # 3 lol, very funny
Hope you get over your complacency issue, especially regarding your girlfriend. May want to take her to the movies more or maybe the fair or carnival. Just don’t get so board with life you start looking like a used piece of concession stand equipment!
