I was pretty happy with how my monologue came out. It showed people the real me and who is important in my life. I think that there were some more things that I could of included such as my hobbies and what I enjoy. I could of also been a little more personal, but I’m not the type of person who likes involving others in my problems. But, I mentioned my fears in life and what I value most, which other people may have not known before. Maybe if I had some more time, I could have made it longer and more detailed. But, I feel that what I had represented the most important things about myself.

I enjoyed all of the other monologues that were presented. I saw a side of people that I never saw before and I was able to connect with a lot of my classmates. All of them were very good whether they were serious, funny, or spoke about chicken nuggets. I really enjoyed doing this assignment and loved hearing everyone’s monologues.

I developed in freshman seminar in many ways. For example, I became friends with people that I never thought I would and realized how great all the kids are. Also, I opened up about my personal life with people and told them my fears. One major change is that freshman seminar opened my eyes to how fun volunteering could actually be, especially if you do it with the right crowd.

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.
