Well, after an extensive search for something that I could upload, I finally settled for this. I wish I could’ve put a gif of something funny, but in the end, I guess this picture is going to have to do. While I wish I could say I’m the little girl at the end, I never took ballet, but you can bet money that if I did, I would be the one hanging upside down from the barre.
I think the picture actually goes really well with my experience here in Baruch because it shows how I evolved through stages. Stage one is: I have no idea what’s going on, I don’t know anyone here, what is going on? Stage two is: Well, they look like they know what they’re doing, I’m just going to observe and maybe follow their lead. Stage three: Wait a second, what just happened? Now I’m more lost than before. Stage four: No, really, what is going on here? And finally (my favorite) stage five: I give up, I’m just going to do whatever I feel like.
These five stages can apply to writing essays (which I usually skip stages two to four), attempting math homework, and life in general. Baruch has shown me that no matter where you go in life, eventually you’ll have to go with your gut and, even if you might look weird or crazy, that’s just the way to go.
Ledia, this was a great way to conceptualize your college experience. I really like this. I also agree that in life you have to “go with your gut;” just make sure your gut can make decisions!
