Who am I?

I am someone who likes to procrastinate (I admit) and spend a lot of time playing games such as Pokemon or Megaman, though I am trying other games as well. I like the band Linkin Park, the singer Jay Chou and listen to some foreign language songs such as Mongolian festival songs. I am also technically challenged so my posts may end up in random places…

During my freshman year at Baruch, I still need time to adjust to my schedule since it is very unlike high school. There are several breaks lasting from 20 minutes to over 2 hours and that is a huge jump from the normal 5 minutes. Secondly, I need to start opening myself up to the new surroundings because back in high school, people always come to me rather than the other way around, so I need to change that as well. Finally, the overall teaching methods of each teacher is somewhat different because of many lectures where I have to take notes by myself rather than rely on someone writing it down on the whiteboard.

So far, the main differences between high school and college are teaching methods and breaks between classes.  During breaks I would go to the library and play puzzles on newspapers until there are 15 minutes until class starts. That is the number one difference that I am still getting used to, not to mention there are no classes on Fridays.

First year of college will definitely change me in the way I communicate with other people. Usually, I would try to avoid talking verbally with staffs, students, almost everyone because I might be scared of what to say, which is why I prefer emailing over phones and face-to-face. Another would be the way I behave, perhaps it would be more mature, but that would completely depend on the viewpoints of others. Another thing would be turning in assignments on time because college is not as lenient as high school so I need to adapt more.

  1. Linkin Park is awesome!!

    Use the time that you have in between classes wisely. With time, you’ll discover that your breaks aren’t long enough because you’ll have 2 papers due and a midterm all in the same day. If you are not busy with school work. I encourage you to spend time exploring the neighborhood!

    You’ll notice that as we get older speaking to people becomes more and more natural 🙂

    I love Jay Chou! He is very inspiring 🙂 we should talk about him some day.
    And yes you should open up yourself to try out new things and meet new people. I guarantee you that will help you become more connected.

    During the breaks, you can basically do whatever you want! Last year, I had a 4 hour break on Tuesdays and Thursday. I sometimes took a nap in the library, did my assignments or just had fun with my friends. Like Katherine said, use it wisely!
