“Who do you think you are?” Blog 1 (Jasmine)
Comments(3) I am silly, funny, caring, loving ,and jazzy ! I love God and my family, friends, and the game of basketball. (yes I am 5’4 and play basketball lol )
My top 3 concerns for freshman year are time management, study habits, and eating ! With all the work I’m just hoping that I can use my time wisely and still have time to enjoy the city life. Studying is going to be one of the hardest things because its so much information and I want to make sure I study the major points and not the minor details. In terms of eating I don’t want to gain the “freshman 15,” which is kind of hard to do avoid at the moment since I’m in this knee brace.
My Baruch experience will be different from my high school experience because there are a lot more people and GUYS ! I went to an all-girls high school (proud to say) and it was a very close bond between the faculty and students. In college its different. I’ve never had a teacher say to me “I don’t get paid enough to care” lol . At that moment I knew high school was a thing of the past !
Being at Baruch will change me because i’ll be a much stronger person physically and mentally. With my injury I was forced to be independent and crutch my way around the city. If I can manage to do this I know I will be successful in other parts of my life =).
Wow!! Great 1st post, Jasmine! Congratulations on the first in the class to post a blog successfully.
I know what you mean by wanting to have enough time to explore the city but still stay on top of your work. You are fortunate to have your b-ball team as an added support network for school and other issues. You will always have me also!
I knew right when I met you at Ludlow that you have a very down-to-earth personality and I believe it is one of your strengths.
Stay cool and I hope your knee is healing well.

It’s Princess Jasmine! I love Disney movies, grew up watching all of them. I’m worried about freshman 15 too especially because I never exercise, and 15 lb will be very noticeable on a small frame. Why is it freshman 15, why not freshman 5? Noticed you were off your crutches today. no more armpit rash, yay!
Thanks Jordan ! I was so happy when I found out you were my Peer Mentor. Im excited for the rest of the year !
LOL ! Mandy your hilarious ! I still have to use my crutches but they are very annoying and make me sweat like crazy =/ So sometimes when I’m feeling good I don’t use them (shh don’t tell my doctor)
