So, yeah. What’s up everyone, my name is Edward. I am a freshman at Baruch, went to Brooklyn Tech high school, am 18 years old, and live in queens. I’ve lived in queens my whole life, but went to school in manhattan and also in brooklyn, so i don’t really have a specific borough that i grew up in. As for my personality, i’m usually very laid-back and carefree, but when things are important, i usually try my best. I’m a generally funny person if you get to know me, mostly for the things i say. I tend to be pessimistic at times, because i feel like if you’re negative, that you won’t get disappointed as much. Disappointment tends to be one of the things i hate the most in the world.
My top three concerns as a freshman are my grades, friends, and how i act. Grades are a given, i mean everyone wants a 4.0, but not many can get it. I myself, am not book smart at all. I hate studying, i’m lazy, and i have a hard time paying attention. But despite all that, i still want to try my best. In high school i had a pretty bad average, and am surprised i even got into Baruch. Friends? Well, if you get to know me you’d know that i’m pretty outgoing and such once i’m friends with someone, but i’m actually hesitant to talk to new people. I guess you can say that i’m shy? Kinda. And since this is my freshman year, my concerns are how i’m going to act this year. I want to start off on a good note, so freshman year is definitely the time to do that. I hope i don’t mess up or catch another lazy attitude like i did in high school.
My experience at Baruch is way different that my experience at high school. Now, i have a lot of breaks, with a 2.5 hour break 3 days a week. That makes things a lot easier as i can study, eat, play sports, and do much more in that time. The atmosphere is also really different from my high school. My high school had 5000 kids in one building, and Baruch is different as it’s 3 buildings.
I think my first year of college will change me a lot. I mean, it already has. Senior year of high school, i literally did nothing at all. I never did any homeworks except projects (yeah, cool kid, i know). Now, i can’t copy people’s homework or anything so i have to do it at home. It’s making me into a more responsible person.
Very good blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused .. Any tips? Kudos!
