It’s pretty difficult to describe a person in less than 500 words. We are all unique individuals that are composed of a million different things that when combined, make us. I find it equally hard to describe myself and express who I think I am, just because I can’t think of cool and interesting things to say, and I never took the time to think about who Candy Ha really is, but I guess that’s the whole point of this first topic, to actually sit and do a little bit of introspection ( I learned this word in Sociology class, but I’m not sure if i’m using it correctly 😀 )
I’m a 17 year old (almost 18!) American born Chinese girl who’s really short. I love to smile and be friendly to everybody, but people tell me that I always look bored or angry, and that I sound sarcastic all the time. I don’t mean it that way, really! I’m probably the most indecisive person you will ever meet and I’m a lover, not a fighter <3. I enjoy doing outdoor-sey stuff, like hiking, snowboarding, volleyball, tanning (that counts), although I’m not good at half of the things I listed, like the snowboarding part, but hey, I can still enjoy something even though I’m not good at it!
I don’t have much concerns, thanks for Juan and Freshman Seminar, but I do have a few. During high school, I was so lazy and I slacked in every class. I used to not care about school until Senior year, since that was the year of college and the future. I had an insanely low average, so I started to panic. Then my perspective changed, and I received an overall average for the year of 93%, which only raised my overall average of all four years by 4 points, to about an 80%. One of my concerns is that I’m going to end up slacking again, I always go big in the beginning, then loose steam towards the end until it might be too late. Now this leads to my second concern, I’m afraid that I wont make it to the Zicklin School, I know you only need a 2.25 or over for your GPA and with certain classes; seems easy when you hear it, but I really stink at math and I don’t know if I can pull through. My third concern is that I’m going to end up being an social outcast! Baruch is a commuter school, people just want to go in and out. Although I actually like being alone, I don’t mind having company!
Of course college is going to be much different: the massive amounts of studying, the extremely long breaks, sleeping on the library couches, taking the subway everyday, need I say more? But I think my first year is going to make me realize that I can’t take the easy way out, and that I have to do everything myself; I have to be more responsible.
You used that word the wrong way! Im just joking I don’t know what it means and I am too lazy to look it up, so ill just act like you used it correctly. As you can see I am also fluent in the language of sarcasm and I know how it feels for people to take your humor or actions as you being mean but I have come to the conclusion that they dont understand our form of humor. Its interesting how you put more dedication in senior year it usually thats the year people slack off. As for your concern with Math and getting into Zicklin, if you ever need help with any class especially math feel free to ask for help. You wont be a social outcast as long as you try to interact, granted its harder but hey whats life without a challenge. Good luck being more responsible and with school work.
