Mandatory Post 1

I am a son, a brother, a friend, a confidant, a listener, an advice giver, and a good friend. As a freshman, I find myself continuously questioning everything going on around me. I’m in this new and unfamiliar environment with new people.
My main concern right now is to try to fit in and make new friends. When you’re in a new place, you need to find people who are going to be with you and help you through this new and exciting time in your life. My second biggest concern would be doing well this semester. I have to make sure that I don’t slack off and really take my first semester seriously. My third concern is getting used to the workload. I would consider myself quite the procrastinator when it comes to school work, so I realize that I have to buckle down and tell myself that I WILL take this seriously.
The biggest change that I have to get used to in college is the freedom. No longer will I be chased after to go to class, or penalized for coming late to school. I realize that now, it’s all up to me. I decide how successful I will be in my college endeavours. Nobody is going to remind me to be serious about school. The responsibility is all mine. Thats going to take some getting used to.
I believe that my first year at Baruch will allow me to grow and develop into an adult. Until now i’ve been dependent upon my parents to show me the correct path. College will help me learn how to fend for myself and how to determine what’s right for me. I hope that my first year in Baruch will aid me in achieving my goals.
