FRO 2012: BWA

Throughout high school, I was undoubtedly a slacker in every regard. School, homework, and grades just seemed to shrink in importance next to…I don’t know what exactly. I could reason with myself all I want, the time just seemed to slip away, and slope just got steeper and more slippery. I slipped through the grasping jaws of failure by the skin of my teeth, and for the first few weeks of college, it seemed like I was simply going to repeat my actions. As of now, I have 2 big assignments due that I know I can finish in a day, but would have taken me 2 or 3.
Slowly, I feel like Baruch has made a strong impression on me. It’s been said that one can be judged by the people he surrounds himself with, and I’m glad I chose Baruch as the place to immerse myself in. The constant movement of the city; the quiet studiousness of the library; and the complete lack of hounding has driven home something that was lingered over my consciousness the whole course of high school: There is always something to be done, and if you’re not going to do it, then who? If not now, then when?
I’m not sure I won’t regress to the endless cycle of regression, but I do know something for sure. At the end of these next 3 weeks, I will have to face the consequences of my initial laziness, but I can do something about that now. After all, I’m in college, and here, it’s A or nothing.
I think have sufficiently expressed what Baruch has taught me this semester. I think it’s time to move on to my next assignenment.
