DTE: Surviving College 101

Who am I? That is a great question. I like to think I am just a boy. My ID says that I am 18, but my mind tells me I am 12. I make stupid jokes about stupid things, but they are funny. At least I think they are funny. Who else am I?

I am that person you grew up wanting to be.

I am that person who you took a double take of on the subway.

I am Mr. Right.

I am the definition of Possimpible.

I start fashion.

I am the greatest musician in the world.

I am an abstract artist.

I am a crazy good broker.

I am a world-class dentist.

I pay my bills on time.

I know how to pass calculus.

I have been told that I am the Mozart of my generation.

I have an IQ above yours.

I have been called more of a rebel than James Dean.

I was the inspiration for all of the Beatles’ songs.

I am that guy who jumps out of the gym.

I am the reason for everything right in the world.

I am the reason that you have to play a year of basketball in college before the NBA.

I am that guy who you walked in on your girlfriend with.

I am that guy your dad walked in on your mom with.

I am the reason YouTube exists.

I am almighty.

I am being modest.

I have not passed Baruch College though.

I think college will change me a lot. There is a group of people who I have heard too much about. They wear very tight clothes, a scarf, and usually big-framed glasses. They are the dreaded hipsters. Being in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, I am in hipster country. I really hope that I don’t become one. I have already started wearing tighter jeans and more upscale clothing. I hope that is all.

Any other ways college might change me? I hope it will change me to be more mature. I enjoy thinking—a lot. I hope that I will be in a position to think deeper. I also really enjoy writing. I hope to continue and become a better writer.

All in all, I’m really looking forward to my college career.
