Hi, guys! I’m Michelle, if you didn’t already know. I’m a naive 17 years old and I love to discover new things. I am easily distracted. I love to eat. I love cheese, both in my food and in my jokes. Oh! And I love the outdoors!
[Insert awkward transition] My first concern would be getting to know the school better. I’m afraid of having another freshman moment and getting lost trying to find my freshman seminar class. Not only do I want to know my way around the school, but I want to learn it’s in’s and out’s as well. My second concern would be getting to know people and getting people to know me. I want to make my mark. I want people to know me by name and think, “Oh, isn’t she that girl who…” My last concern might be the largest one. It is time management. Being able to balance my school work and my social life isn’t easy. I don’t want to spend all my time buried under books, nor do I want to be behind in my studies.
In high school I knew what I was working towards. I was working towards college, but now that I’m in college I don’t know what to do. I know I’m working towards getting a job and hopefully a career, but in what field? And would I be happy in this field. At Baruch, everyone seems so rushed. They all have places to go and deadlines to meet. One major difference might be the number of people you find at the Newman library. You’d be lucky to find even a tenth of the amount of students at the Forest Hills Library.
After my freshman year at Baruch I think I’ll finally know my way around (hopefully). I’d know where all the good restaurants are and where to hang out for those two hour breaks. I think I’ll be more aware of what I want to accomplish at Baruch. I don’t know what else to say about how I’ll change. I don’t want to change too much though, but rather improve. Yeah, I think I like improve better.
Good first blog, hopefully you can talk more in class.
