Who do you think you are?

“Who do you think you are?” Reminds me of the song called “Jar
of Hearts” by Cristina Perri. LOL. But on a serious note, I think I’m just a
normal teenager trying to make the best out of my life. I live in New York City,
or should I say one of the craziest cities in the world. Graduated high school,
got into the college that I wanted, and yet have no idea what the future holds.
So I’m the kind of person who doesn’t take things for granted. I like to be
open to new and different opportunities. Some concerns about my Freshman year
in Baruch actually deals with my own self rather than others. I mean let’s face
it. College is definitely a lot different from high school. Right now after
attending the college courses for the last 3 weeks, I feel like we were
practically being “spoon-fed” by the teachers when we were in high school. So yeah,
we have more responsibilities now. And sometimes I feel like I can’t handle everything,
or I am going to mess them up. And my other concerns deals with me fitting in.
I know I have a whole block of people I know in Baruch, which is a really great
thing. But, still I miss my other friends, and sometimes feel like a stranger
in the building. It is getting better though. I’m getting to know new people
and hang out. As I mentioned earlier, college was a huge transaction for me.
Definitely a lot more work to do in class, and you are entirely responsible if
anything goes wrong. And also you have to make sure that the professors know
who you are. You don’t want to be the kid who just goes to class and sits quiet
every day. I think just this first year of college alone will teach me to more
responsible and independent than I have ever been in my entire life. And in a
way that is a very good thing.
