Mandatory Post 1

Let me start off with my name, my name is Marina Chukhriy. I’m 18 years old as of May 14^th 1993. Born inUkraine, raised inBrooklyn; I still consider myself to be a true Russian girl. I’m the daughter of Russian immigrants and I came here when I was just 4 years old. I’ve been told that I am unlike any other girl out there; I’m actually pretty unexpected. I love cars, designer clothes, guys, exotic names, partying, tanning, shopping, racing, basketball players, and just chilling. I think I’m decently smart and somewhat talented. I’m a determined, intelligent, goal oriented person and I truly believe that I can be successful in my future… but we’ll see.

            As a freshman, my concerns coming toBaruchCollegeare getting those straight A’s! I need to figure out how to apply myself in order to get that 4.0 GPA. On a smaller scale, I’m concerned with my work load and how to efficiently get my work done on time. Another concern would be papers. Never been a fan of writing papers, nor have I ever been too good at it. I would defiantly need to learn how to write a paper in less time with better approach.

            So far I think that the independence in Baruch is probably the only difference I see between high school and college. I’ve always been independent through my studies in high school so it isn’t too much of a transition for me. But I have to see how the next few months go before I can see clear cut differences.

            I don’t necessarily think that college will change me, but it may change my working style and how efficiently I do my work. College could help me become more organized and broaden my horizons when it comes to fields of study.
