As some may have guessed by my username, I’m Philip Shteyngrob. I’m a first generation American with my father coming from Ukraine and my mother from Russia. I’ve played hockey since 5th grade and that is one of my main hobbies.
I would have to say my top three concerns about freshman year at Baruch would be managing my time wisely, throwing off the shackles of senioritis, and taking an active part in my classes. This is because I mainly coasted through high school and didn’t put a great deal of time or effort into my work.
I’m not really sure what will make my baruch experience different from my college experience seeing as baruch is my college experience. I’m sure that a typo but I’m not one to bring such things to light…
I don’t really think that freshman year at baruch will change me: maybe my classes will nudge me in the direction of one of the fields of work I;m interested in, but I don’t really think that I will change much.
P.S.- Although I get that the point of these blogs is to help us make friends and connect better with the people in our blocks or learning communities, I think it is quite pointless seeing as we already communicate through other mediums which makes this blog just another thing we have to worry about doing.
