A)        Who Do I Think I am? That is a tough question to answer.

At a young age of 18, I am still trying to figure that out, as I am sure most people my age are as well. Right now I know I am a strong, fearless, passionate and stylish young adult. I am strong on the inside and out. On the inside because I am so tough and so hard to break. On the outside, from hours of rock climbing and doing weight work at the gym. I am also not afraid of anything; I am always up for a challenge and never back down. Passionate is what people often use to describe me because I am forever passionate about what I believe in. I will stand up and fight for things to be the way I believe they should be. And will not stop till I get my way.

Though my favorite word that people usually refer to me as is stylish. Stylish I feel is the most prominent word that could be said about me.  Being Fashionable and on top of the trends is something I will always do. Fashion is the one thing I have had a strong love for throughout my whole life.

B)        What are my top 3 concerns about my freshman year at Baruch College? That is hard to say. Being that I took a summer immersion course at Baruch I luckily do not really have that many. But like any normal college freshman, I am sure there are a few that I can name.

My top concern I think is the workload. Coming from private school you would expect me to be prepared for a lot of work but no really, it is the total opposite. In private school, since we were paying them they did what we wanted which in the long run is really not the best for us. They let us get away with retaking tests often and disregarding are absences and not making a lot of the work mandatory. This was fun then but now it sort of leaves us in a stuck position. It is so different having to sit and take time to actually do school work. My next concern could be managing my time. With classes and schoolwork it might be difficult to have time to do stuff for myself that I am use to doing. Some of that stuff includes working out, hanging out with friends, and attending events. So far everything is working out time wise so I hope that doesn’t change. But I know with all my papers coming up it might.

Lastly my final concern would have to do with remembering to return my books that I rented on time. I hope I do not forget to return them because I know there will be annoying consequences if I do. (Maybe remind us in FRO to return them close in time to when they are due!)

C)        There are many aspects that will make my Baruch College experience different from my High School experience. In my High School there were only Jewish kids, which I personally did not like. I like being with people of all different ethnicities and races. It enhances the experience because in a way you experience many different cultures. Another thing that will make my college experience vary is the fact that I can wear whatever I want to school. Up until now I had to wear skirts to school. It will definitely make it more enjoyable to go to school in what I choose to wear.

D)        Anyone’s first year at college changes them. I know mine definitely will. It will change my brain and make me smarter because I know will be working hard this year.
