I am a caterpillar, soon to become a butterfly. i have yet to find where i belong in this world and have a long life ahead of me. My first concern is that i will not get the gpa I wanted for the semester because some of my teachers are retarded. My second concern is that i will not be able to transfer out to the school i wanted to go. And my last concern is that I might be dropped from a few of my classes because I am always late for my first class. The difference between Baruch College and my high school is that attending and participating in class is up to me. My first year in college will change me because it will make me more independent. I can’t depend on others as much as i did in high school

Let’s see, who I am…Well, I know for one thing is that my personality is very random; though I tend to come off as shy at first, eventually I become kinda crazy and loud xD I will try to be more outgoing but with less craziness. My top 3 concerns about freshman year at Baruch college… 1) time management because afterall, we’re freshman and we’re still adjusting to college life, how it works and all.  2)passing classes? Well, I’m not worrying about most of the classes but math worries me the most because I haven’t taken math in like 2 years and the math professor can’t teach…nor use a computer correctly ><”   3)umm…I guess the 3rd concern would be interesting class topics? I don’t know but I guess English class would be a lot more interesting if the readings weren’t in archaic language and if the professor would stop talking in tangents. So far, I think my Baruch College experience is different in my high school experience is that the professors don’t teach you; you have to teach yourself (hence why the math professor isn’t so good). And I thnk that my first year in college will change me socially, I guess? Not sure. Maybe meet new people and stuff like that.  xD

Hm…. who am I? I feel like some of us can’t fully answer this question because we are all in a stage where we’re in process of finding out. I’ve just entered college and I believe throughout college, I’ll learn more about who I am and what I want in life. In this transition from high school to college, I’ve realized that college is not at all easy. I mean, I’ve been warned from others but now that I’m actually experiencing it, I know myself. It’s all about time management, responsibilities, and confidence. My main concerns are: juggling school, work, and social life, procrastination, and making the right choices. I feel like the choices we make right now will either destroy or make us in the future. In high school, I would always cut class and not take anything seriously. I hope my freshman year in college will allow me to break away from old habits and make school one of my top priorities.

 

I cannot truly describe myself in words who I am. Like, I am a chameleon. Haha. I am a chameleon in a sense that I am a different person everyday depending on my mood, if anything I change every hour as well. I can be loud one day, and quiet another. However, I am a dancer. Haha, if you get to know me, you would understand why. I am NOT a quitter. I am someone who feeds off of criticism and non-believers. I like challenges :] Maybe that is why I love college so far. College is a challenge for me because now I am on my own. If I mess up, it’s my own responsibility. I am worried about time, scheduling, and just getting out of my comfort zone. I want to talk to people, but we’ll see as college goes along. Im hoping that college can make me more outgoing.

The question “who am I?” has stumped me for as long as I can remember.  I dont mean that I am unsure of the person that I am, but I find it hard to communicate to others, or write in words what I know to be tre about myself.  Its a broad question because I am so many things, there are so many aspects that make up the person that I am so I can’t sum it up into words even though I know the answer in my mind.  I can easily say one thing though: right now I am a Freshman at Baruch and so far its been prety overwhelming but also great at the same time.  I worry most that I wont be able to keep up with the work in my classes, I will fail out of my math class, and that I won’t be able to handle all that is going to be thrown at me.  Baruch is so different from high school, firstly, most of the learning is done outside of class.  This is the complete opposite of what learning was like in highschool. And secondly, the opportunities here at Baruch are endless, and that is what most excites me.  I hope after being here for a year that I will  have become more independent, and that I will have taken advantage of the oppportunities here at Baruch!

The tour of the library was really cool. I quite enjoyed getting out of the classroom and learning about the resources available at the library such as the computers and books. Robi was really informative and I feel like he gave us really helpful tips on studying. Here’s hoping he takes us on more field trips!

Hey everyone,

I hope you all had a wonderful week! How have the first few weeks been for you guys? Stressful? Fun? Both? I see a lot of you are becoming good friends, which is terrific! My week has been fun! I went to my best friend’s sister’s sweet sixteen and had a blast, but the highlight of my week came on that beautiful Wednesday, September 14th. I planned the day for months! Me and a good high school friend of mine went to see the Big 4, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer, four of the most influential metal bands in history! Unfortunately, I had a class until 5:25, so I missed Anthrax perform. I came just in time to see Megadeth play. They were great. Slayer was insane! They wouldn’t put their guitars down. They kept blowing the roof off of the stadium even though the stadium doesn’t have a roof. Metallica, the headliner and most popular of the four bands closed the show with a two hour performance that consisted of both their older and more recent songs. One of their songs, entitled “Blackened” featured a crazy laser show which you can all see on my facebook page! I will be honest, this was my first actual concert and I am 100% sure that there will never be a more epic performance. I am a huge fan of rock and to see these four bands take the stage at Yankee Stadium. I’m sure it was the biggest cocnert to have hit the Big Apple and I will never forget it! To the rest of you, what was the best moment of your week? Share by commenting on this post!

This is Raul, hopefully this post ends up in the right place because I’m very confused. It took me two weeks to figure out how to log on and here I am.

But anyways, The last important thing I remember doing is going to the library, which is HUGE!

And I learned the the couches are for sleeping and not studying, bummer.

See you guys in class on Tuesday morning, after I watch Epicmealtime

Waah?! We were suppose to post here? I didn’t know that! Ho boy.

I’m Serena. It’s nice to meet you too. Um yea.

I honestly don’t remember much of the Library Visit except for the fact that Robi forgot where the Reference thingy was. The library is way cool though, and I really love the fact that it has mad chairs. I just know that the library will help me along in my career here at Baruch College.

I don’t even know if I did this right. Huh. Figure that.
