Hello everyone! I’m Elaine. I think I’m a little shy when I first meet someone new because I don’t want to leave a bad first impression. Besides that, I’m pretty silly. I like to say silly things, so don’t mind me! I’m also lame since I’ve been listening to Adele’s songs on replay for days now. It took me a while to figure out how to leave a post.

My top three concerns about freshman year in Baruch are getting good grades, making friends, and managing time. I want to do well this semester and maybe be able to slack off second semester, since I doubt it gets easier! I hope that I will get to know everyone and everyone will get to know me.

I think my Baruch experience will be different from my high school experience since I have more freedom and responsibilities. In high school, teachers would put the Do Now and homework on the board everyday, and yell at you if you’re not taking notes or not doing the homework. In Baruch, there’s no such thing as an Aim or a Do Now and if you want to keep up on homework, you have to look on the syllabus yourself.

I don’t think I will change much during my first year. However, I want to join clubs or organizations Baruch offers. I would like to get to know more people and become more involved in student life.
