I am Neal Klotsman, maybe I am someone, maybe I am no one. Just a laid back freshman at Baruch, with a interest in finance.My top three concerns about my freshman year is keeping up with work load. My senior year at high school was not mentally stimulating and keeping up with the assignments seems difficult until I adjust. My second concern is getting to class on time! My classes start at 8am and 9am and I live in New Jersey my commute is about an hour and half , doesn’t seem long but waking up at 5 and 6 am isn’t fun. My last concern is Keeping my grades high enough to transfer, my parents expect me to graduate from an ivy league school , which means my stay at Baruch will be short.MY college experience is already extremely different, the freedoms I have are unlimited. In high school I had to be in school all the time and home right after, now I am free to do as I please.My first year in college wont change me, because in my opinion people don’t change.
I am Bryan Sulicki, a freshman who is into sports, hanging out with friends and just having a good time. My top 3 concerns about freshmen year have to be getting work in on time, transferring, and keeping in touch with old friends. In high school I was use to not getting much work, and when I did due dates weren’t much of a concern to me, but in college I’ll have to change that. I also want to transfer school because Baruch doesn’t have the major that I want, sports management, and I really want to dorm. I want to be able to keep in touch with old friends since only a very a couple go to Baruch, the rest are well obviously in other schools, and some out of the city and even state. Not having classes back to back and no classes on Fridays definitely make college different from high school. I am not worried about my first year of college changing me. If it does it’ll only be me knowing more people and more people to chill with, but personality wise I would say not much would change.
I am Yale Weiss. A freshman at Baruch College who is interested in business. my three main concerns about freshman year are falling behind in school by not keeping up on my homework, losing connection with my good friends from high school, and waking up in time for class. for my 8:15 classes i wake up at six in the morning, which tends to put me in a daze for the rest of the day. this leads to my other concern, which is falling behind in work. i tend to procrastinate leaving a buildup of homework. however, i feel that my concerns are manageable and that i just need a short time to adjust to the college setting. what will make my Baruch College experience different from my high school experience is the excess freedom. i am free to do whatever i want unlike high school. my classes are no longer back to back and i only have up to three subjects a day. i think my first year of college may change me slightly only because i am always affected by my surroundings.
I am Cameron DeCillis, a freshman who likes music and science stuff, and an interest for biochemistry. My concerns consist of getting work done in time, getting good grades so I can transfer somewhere else after this year, and I really don’t have a third concern. What will make Baruch different from my high school experience is going from being known as the vice principal’s and math teacher’s son, and getting my house targeted for bomb threats, etc, to being my own person that no one knows from my last name. I think college will change me a little bit, since it’s a different region and lifestyle than what I know.
I am Suhail Zalia, a freshman who is interested in studying finance at Baruch College. I’am a confident person who believes in everything he does and plans to work hard throughout his life. My first concern about freshman year is my grades. I really want to receive straight A’s because I hope to keep my GPA really high and if I ever decide to transfer, the process can be easier. Another concern is being more responsible with money. I want to spend less while enjoying myself and somehow incorporate school work while I’am doing it. Another concern is getting an internship. I’am a very proactive person and want to start very early with my career because I pretty much want to make “bank.”My Baruch College experience is different from high school is because it’s taking place in the city. The city is a great place to live and there is so much life. Everywhere you go there is always something going on and something to do. Yes, I believe my first year in college will change me by making me more academically mature.
I am Edith Chiquitero, obviously a freshman and possibly majoring in marketing and a minor in history. One of my concerns about freshman year is keeping up with all the work and studying because I am really lazy. Also I procrastinate a lot and I know I have to change that If I want to do good in college. My Baruch college experience is different from high school because I’m not taking as many classes and I only have school four days a week and of course I am more independent and have more freedom. Yes I do think I will change in the aspect of being more responsible with managing my time.
I am Isaac Lati. I am Jewish. I’m here to make a difference. This is basically who I am but I define myself as who I am trying to be. My opinion is that you can only know someone by figuring out what they want to be. Therefore, I hope to be a doctor and a father of a good family. My 3 concerns in college are: 1. To be the best I can be 2. Waking up early 3. Adjusting to the fact that I am in the city. My college experience is already different form my high school experience because I went to a small high school where everyone was Jewish and Syrian. Now that I’m in Baruch I am exposed to a larger amount of diversity, which is always a great thing. My first year of college will not change me because I will always be the same but it will be different because I have new awesome friends.
I am Sagnik Baksi. I am from Rockland County NY. I am someone who some may think cannot accept reality. I say this because even though I have tried out for the basketball team 6 years in a row and never made it I still keep on playing the sport and have the goal of making the college basketball team at Baruch. My top 3 concerns about my freshman year at Baruch are maintaining my confidence in math class, because my nervousness in the topic is what messes up my grade. My second concern is not to get too down on myself if I do not make the basketball team, I have to understand that I worked really hard for my goal, and whatever the result is, the work ethic I have is important in life. My last concern is not to get too focused on getting a girl. The important thing is to establish myself and realize I am a kind-hearted person , and if a girl does not realize that then it is her loss. My college experience will be different from my high school experience in that I will have a stronger mindstate in improving my grades and I see the bigger picture more clearly in terms of getting a good career. I think my first year at college will change me in terms of making me a harder worker and improving my skills in writing and communication with others.
Well if you don’t know my name then you should look slightly above the post and read it. Are you done yet? I’ll give you some time………Okay, let us begin. I do not know who I am fully. Many changes have occurred in my life and therefore I adapt. I’m a survivalist. But I lie, because I do know my core values and morals which I don’t change. I’m impulsive, I care little of what other people think, and find that if you don’t say something when you want then you may regret it. It’s better then saying something and regretting it because over time it will be forgotten. Concerns, classes obviously, especially math, on the other hand I find that I’ll succeed for the most part hopefully. Networking big problem, I distrust people and while I go to a business school I know business is as dirty as politics and crime. And coincidentally all 3 of those tend to intertwine, odd isn’t it? Baruch is already different for the most part from high school that there are intellectuals and people whom aren’t complete idiots. There is also the freedom that many believe to be wonderful. I would have to agree wholeheartedly. I believe the 1st year of college changes people no matter what, yet at the same time people change constantly. It may be a little harder for others and many times we won’t notice the difference but it happens. Academically or personality, we will all change.
To state the obvious, I am Brittney Sahadeo. A college freshman, a minority by race, hailing from the country of Trinidad, and a devoted Hindu. I love spending time with my family and friends. But what is it that really defines who I am? This is something that I would like to know myself.
My top 3 concerns about my freshman year at Baruch are:
1. Getting acquainted and meeting new people at Baruch. This is a concern to me because I am going to be here for the next several years, so I need to get to know the school and people around and within the school. The college experience is also about who you spend your time with
2. Starting off with a GPA of at least a 3.5, or getting there by the end of my freshman year. I want to make my parents & others (including myself) proud of me, I want to be the best I can be. It would also help if I can stop procrastinating.
3. Become more confident. I was usually a very shy person in front of a crowd, or a group of people I am not familiar with. Over the years, especially in hs, this has changed, but I want it to change for good. I still need to become more confident, especially with on-the-spot public speaking.
So far, I think the freedom and individuality that college offers is what will make my Baruch College experience much different from my high school experience. Also, the fact that I go to school in the city now, rather than Bayside, is a big difference.
I do think my first year at College will change me, for the better that is. I see myself becoming more independent, responsible and self-reliable. Truthfully, I believe that I am already being affected with these changes.
A. TELL US WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?
I am Minwoo Nahm, a freshman at Baruch. I was born in Korea and came to the United States when I was 9. Currently live in Flushing, Queens. I love playing volleyball handball and basketball and love playing/listening to music.
My top 3 concerns at Baruch are as follows, 1. Maintaining a 4.0 gpa. Yeah, everyone else already mentioned it but I mean we are at school so schoolwork is a priority. 2. To procrastinate less. Not working out too great so far but hopefully will be better in the future. I have a horrible habit of putting everything off till the last minute. 3. Time management. Related to number 2 but I want to manage time really well and find a great balance between school, work, and play time.
I think that the freedom we gain from going to college is the biggest difference. We can actually choose what we want to study and that makes a huge difference. Its also a whole new environment, Downtown Manhattan is definitely different from the bronx.
Do I think my first year of college will change me? Im not sure, but if so I hope its for the better. I really want to get rid of my bad habits from high school and excel in college.
Very nice site. Greetings.
Hey, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog site in Ie, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, awesome blog!
A baffling jacket fiddles outside of the paid for wit. The child like require affects a soundtrack. The associate exists alongside a football! What makes the censor take legal action against? A eye-port advertises close to an indistinguishable strength.
The supportive sneaker claims through the toad. Why cannot the necessary reform prolong the wallet? The postal pun ends. The calculus bothers my appendix above the standard path. Near the stick waffles a muttering irony.
