I am an average 18 year old girl who is very outgoing and social. I enjoy going out with people and having a lot of fun. I am very family oriented and they mean the world to me. I strive for good grades and hope to accomplish a lot in life. I love meeting new people and making friends.
I have a few concerns about my freshman year in Baruch. My top concern is maintaining a good GPA so that I could get into a very good grad school. I hope to become successful and know that I need to do well in college to achieve that. My second concern is trying to find a job that will give me experience and help me in the future. It is very hard for people to find jobs, especially if they have no experience, so I hope to get an internship. Another one of my concerns is meeting new people. I enjoy making friends, but it is hard when you barely know anyone in the school. I have met a few people so far but hope to make a lot more friends so that I have a great time during my college years.
I think that my Baruch experience will be different from my high school experience because college is much more serious than high school. There is a lot more work and I won’t have as much time to go out. Parts of my weekends will be spent on studying, as well as weekdays. Also, I will meet a lot of new people, which will be different from high school since I already knew most of my friends when going there. I will be a lot more serious about school and not slack but since I’m older now, I can go out to more places in the city.
I think that my first year in college will change me in many ways. I feel like I will become a lot more mature and grow up. This is because I know that I have a lot of responsibilities and that teachers won’t treat me like a baby. I have to make sure that I am organized and submit assignments on time, as well as study a lot. College will also change my outlook on life and I will become more goal oriented.
Find a company that you are interested in. Find out when they have internships if any. Go to the career development center at Baruch and read all of the job postings. I have no doubt in my mind that you will be successful in achieving your goals.
