Hi, my name is Chelsea DeGuzman. When someone asks me “Who do you think you are” my immediate response would be, “A girl named Chelsea.” But that’s too general, so I’ll elaborate. So, I’m from the not so lovely state of Florida. I lived there my whole life, and one of the reasons why I chose to come to Baruch was to get away from that awful climate. I am pretty shy and I keep to myself most times. I play softball and will be playing softball here at Baruch, so remember, always support your athletes! 🙂 I have two brothers and one sister. I love them and the hardest part about moving so far away was the fact that I would miss out on so much with my family, so I guess in that sense I can say I’m very family orientated. And my favorite color is PINK!
So my three main concerns about freshmen year were/are: 1.) Finding my classes 2.) Passing my classes 3.) Coming out of my shell and getting to know people.
College doesn’t really seem that different to my high school experience. In high school we had pretty demanding teachers with hour and a half classes, so that’s really not a change. The only difference would probably be the set up of the school and where the school is located. My high school was out in the middle of no where, where the coolest part about school was going to the ag farm or hanging out by the trucks. The “campus” here is quite different and of course the city surrouding it is amazing.
I think this year will change me in just a few ways. It will definitely force me to push out of my “shell” and become more social. It will help me realize the work load that will follow in the next few years. And it will tweak me into a better person, teaching me to accept all and never fear what we do not know.
So yea, that’s me.
