so like…HI (: ? I honestly don’t know what to write, I know this is a mandatory post//blog that is due soon.. ): so I’ll just go bleh bleh bleh bleh (8
anyways, Who do I think I am ? alot of people think I might be like those typical asian girl maybe ? that just sits there all quite and never bother to be active in class or raise her hand and be like “OH! I know!” nahhh (: not to get attention or something but I am just different in many ways (:  I am someone that is random, sometimes impulsive but than again mostly a rebel. I don’t look like it? sorry to surprise you, I live by the quote “expect the unexpected”; let’s just keep everything as a mystery and we get to know each other, ahah. friends? cool (:
so far, the concerns I have isn’t really much because I think its fine as of now but I don’t know maybe like we aren’t in the system officially, since most of us (in the FRO class) is part time students and so far is the financial issue, or maybe keep up with the studies or staying in contact with my friends in different schools but than again that is my own personal problem; so let’s skip to next ques is what would make my college experience different from HS? ohhhh boy, I’ll notice it cause I do already; aside the fact I don’t have that much class this semester feels like a senior in High School, but than I notice in college alot of people would help each other like the FRO class and we would always be able to socialize and have fun, no matter what because we got each other like the study groups; well as long as we are all open, the most I can say is thanks for Baruch to really put such a good effort to this program also because I notice from my other friend’s colleges, they don’t really have a program like this and also would make us be so comfortable as we are now, along with the awesome planners or the nice peer mentor, teacher/professor and its wonderful with the awesome clubs around and fun student events that is host by different clubs and such; so far the days aren’t long in Baruch, but I think I see the change already in me, I feel like a social butterfly in Baruch, ahah. Also, the library is a wonderful place to do hw and study, because at home it is sooo hard to do anything :/ Being in Baruch seems to be an awesome experience so far and I hope I’ll stay because honestly, I am most of a art, creative kind of person that when it comes to numbers or business stuff, I would be like asdfghjkl; I hope I’ll manage and try to fall in love with Baruch, ahaha 🙂

oh yea, my name is Erin.

Hey guys!

Your first mandatory blog post is due on Wednesday September 21, so make sure you have it done as soon as possible.

Also please feel free to be as creative as you want with your blog 🙂

1. Tell us who you think you are.

2. Share your top three concerns about your freshman year and explain why.

3. What will make you college experience different from your high school experience?

4. How do you think your first year at college will change you?

Who do I think I am? Man that’s a tough question. I would have to say that I am a funny, intelligent, sometimes shy and sometimes outgoing guy. I definitely would say that I am friendly, in that I always talk to new people frequently to make new friends. I’m pretty athletic: I play basketball, football and occasionally baseball. I would say that I tend to be the leader of group events. Every time there is a gathering of people I seem to take charge and want to lead. My first concern at Baruch College would have to be the transition. This is because it is so different from high school and everything is the opposite. My second concern would have to be the workload. I wonder if I am going to be able to handle doing all of the work outside of class. At first I thought that college wasn’t going to be that way, it’s only in the movies, but I am quickly experiencing that it is realistic, and that you have to spend a lot of time out of the classroom doing work to make it in college. My third concern is being alone. Of course I have made some friends at Baruch already, but there are always those times of loneliness when you don’t know one person surrounding you. I’m sure in the future that feeling will become less and less, but for now, I have to continue putting myself out there and find new friends. What do I think will make my Baruch College experience different from my high school experience? That would have to be…EVERYTHING. Between the commuting, the school, the work, the food and the people. There really is not one thing that is similar between the two at all. I think that my first year of college isn’t going to change me that greatly. I’m still going to be me. Ill have to work harder then ever before but I’ll still have a fun time while I attend Baruch. Of course I’m going to meet new people and possibly join some clubs, but I don’t think that I am going to change from who I am right now in my first year of college.

Although this class is at 9:30 in the morning and I have to leave my house at 7:30a.m. just to get there on time, I do feel like it will be worth it in the long run. This class is a great way to meet fellow freshmen and make some new friends. I have already met a couple that are in other classes of mine, so that’s a positive. The field trips are also something that I’m looking forward to in this class. I can not wait to get out of the classroom and explore NYC. Furthermore, I feel that the writing sessions and the presentations in this class are going to help me in my future at Baruch College. Practice makes perfect, and there is definitely going to be a lot practice of both of those in this class!

Could you please post a paragraph or two on what you think of Freshman Seminar and how you think this class will help you. This is due before our next session.
