POST ONE

To think who am I. I think I am a pessimistic optimist. Why do I say that? First I am a pessimist; sometimes bigger the expectation, the bigger the disappointment so I always think about and prepare for the worst. On the other hand, I am the optimist. Even though I feel pessimistic in many things, I would be optimistic to deal with them, because I have prepared for the worst. When the bad consequences come to me, I would accept that results with peace of mind. Meanwhile I still believe that things could not be the worst if I try my best. Finally, I think a pessimist could lead optimistic life.

The three top concerns about my freshman year at Baruch College are friendship, transition, and grades. The development of friendship is the highest concern for me in the first year at the college. As a freshman, I need help in many ways, so I must make friends with others. The college courses are more difficult than high school. I as well can make a study group with my friends to help each other in homework, research papers. The second one is to make a transition between high school and college. In college, everything is new for me, I need fit in the college ASAP. For fitting in the college life, I also must make friends with others. The last, The last, I want to have a good GPA in my first college year, because well began is half done, and that can also build confidence in myself. confidence is important for me in the rest of college year.

In my opinion, the most significant thing can make my Baruch College exprience different from my high school experience is that we are more depending on our own self-study skill. In the high school, teachers could spend more time helping us. I think it is good to cultivate ours independence in the college. We need to learn to use the resoure to help ourselves.

I think my first year at college would make me more independent. I think I will manage my time more effectively.
