As you peel an onion’s many layers, you make use of the layers peeled. The remaining layers now make up the onion. Similarly, my experiences here at Baruch and myself can be compared to an onion. I can say that many layers were peeled everytime I learned something new. For example, I learned that walking into class late means getting hunted down by the awkward stares everyone gives and that a stampede erupts everytime an elevator opens. But all kidding aside, I learned many valuable lessons. I learned to take responsibility for myself. The workload, commuting, and getting to class on time all depends on me and I have no one else to depend on. Also, I learned to overcome my shyness and embrace the awkward “how are you” conversations.

Despite, these new valuable lessons, I still have many questions remaining. Will I ever reach success? Am I making the right choice by coming here? Although these questions aren’t answered, I’m pretty confident that as I peel away the onion, my answers will come up. It’s only a matter of time.

So I guess you can say college life has been alright. Not the best but not bad either. Even though I hate the early mornings, the drivers that try to run me over and the war I have to fight to catch an elevator, small things like meeting nice people, walking around on a nice day, and being blessed enough to attend college makes everything okay.

I hope my onion self can peel as much layers and become the bulk of the onion I hope to be. I also hope I don’t smell and rot.

P.S. I actually wrote this monologue in such great detail but my computer shut down as I was just about to post it so I only wrote the main points here. Yay.

This is a picture of the show LOST. Despite being my favorite show forever, i find myself learning many lessons just like the characters did. Also, they learned to use their past mistakes to better themselves, something that i hope I can always do.
