Overall I’ve had a pretty good first semester at Baruch College. I feel I have learned a lot and made some very cool kids and friends who I hope to be friends with for a long time. The semester went by pretty fast but that’s okay, its time for a vacation anyways. I thought that college would give me a lot of work but I’m happy to say that wasn’t the case. It seems as if I worked harder in high school then here and I like that, plus Fridays are off. After some hard work I was able to get the classes I wanted and I’m excited for spring. I hope that the people I made friends with stay and touch and everyone enjoy vacation>

“It is an undoubted truth, that the less one has to do, the less time one finds to do it in.” ~Earl of Chesterfield

Procrastinating – the act of replacing high-priority actions with tasks of low-priority, and thus putting off important tasks to a later time. I would say I’m pretty good at Procrastinating. I can procrastinate the hell out of anything. Is it something I’m proud of? Not so much. Is it fun? Hell yeah. I think everyone procrastinates in some way. Life is hard and life isn’t going to get any easier. So use the time now to live a little and procrastinate. Like this monologue I’m up here talking about procrastination for God sakes. Its not like I couldn’t write about something more interesting its just whatever. I procrastinated to do this project so I might as well talk about it. Or last week I had to do a whole PowerPoint project and it literally took us about 2 hours to do. However, it began with 3 hours of procrastinating and it probably would have been longer if my partner didn’t yell at me for being so lazy. I just like doing other things as long as everything gets done who cares when it’s done. I like to think as myself as a good student academically and I have done well so far at Baruch College but I do like throwing it off sometimes and take my time to work on things. (I gotta be in the zone to work just the zone isn’t always there) I’m not endorsing not to do work I’m just saying enjoy life now. Soon hopefully we will all be working and procrastinating wont be an option but now it still is. Let procrastinating interfere with your life its really so much fun. All right, what else can I talk about? Its sad how this whole monologue I wrote is just to waste 2 minutes of time. It should mean something but I don’t really care. Why put the effort into it, I don’t want to do this. But we do things we don’t want to that’s just the way it is. That’s why I would rather do nothing and waste time until I can figure out something to write about. Not to mention I’m procrastinating right now, I’m just talking about nonsense up here and taking up time from others who definitely have much more interesting things to talk about. And for that I apologize to whomever’s time I took away from. I look forward to my next monologue were I will discuss the importance of being lazy. Procrastination, my friend in crime together till the end. By the way, this was all written in my Political Science class today, fun fact.

Whatsup class, time to talk about this mandatory blog! So I am from Brooklyn, NY born and raised I chose Baruch because of how convenient it is and its a field im interested in, business. Im actually a personal stock broker  which I think is kind of cool. I love everything there is about business mainly the MONEY! I also like playing sports such as hockey and basketball, I have signed up for the Baruch hockey team which I’m excited to play in. I’m very into meeting people which I find very easy at this school, Ive met a lot of cool people here and I hope to meet all of you in class so the suffering of a last period class isnt as bad. I dont have many concerns with school but one that definitely has been bothering me:

• Will I make it there. Will I be into the profession I’m dying to be in. These days jobs are so competitive and I’m sometimes scared that I wont be able to do it. But I am confident so hopefully that counters my fear for the most part

So if anyone has any cool ideas or clubs that anyone wants to tell me about feel free because I’m very into that. Hopefully we can all get out of this light night walk stuff because i dont want to do any of the sort. You will be my best friend if you can find an event during school class so we dont have to go there. I’m still in favor of the pick up random trash at the park as my community service so lets do that :). Hope to see you guys around bye!
