Hello. My name is Jennifer Nitzani and I was born in Queens and raised in Great Neck. I attended Great Neck North High School, and I have to say that high school was the best four years of my life. My two favorite things to do are play soccer and dance. I am really hoping to enjoy college as much as I did high school. I know that no matter what, everything happens for a reason, and I know that I will receive the top education that I need to succeed here at Baruch. So far so good. I am really starting to enjoy myself at Baruch. This summer, I went on a tour all around Israel, where I met all new people. One night we were all sitting around and discovered that about six of us were all going to attend Baruch together which made it all that more exciting. As much as I do enjoy college, I do have concerns. My main concern is keeping up with the work. It is just so different than High School. In High School, we got a sheet which mostly explained each assignment that was due and we were reminded of the due dates often, and here we only meet with that professor twice a week so it gets confusing at times, and I guess I just really have to be on top of everything. It is a lot of work and a lot of reading. I love to read but only what I am interested in which is a problem considering the books we read for our classes are not all that interesting. I am also concerned with meeting new people. So far I am doing great! I met a lot of awesome new people and I just hope to keep on making more and more friends. I love to talk and open up to people and introduce myself, but sometimes, I don’t feel as if others are as open as I am. I am hoping to join clubs and become very involved. In High School, I was extremely involved with so many different events, and I was very close with a lot of the teachers, which scares me because here, it is much harder to become close to the professors. I think everything about college is different than High School which is why I think it difficult for me in College. Some of my classmates are here in College with me which makes is better. I know at least one person already in every class from High School so its great. One of the hard parts is that out of all my closest friends, I am the only one that came to Baruch and the others went away, but I still love it here. I really hope that the next four years of my life in college will be as good as the past four in high school. I think that this year will get harder and I am extremely scared for midterms and finals. I am really just hoping to do well on all of them and I think my first year will change and will just keep getting better. I always think positive, and I know that I will have the best year this year being a freshmen at Baruch!
