Yeah, you could consider me lazy. But I’d rather describe myself as laidback, but that’s not really up to me, is it?  I used to wish that I could spend all of my days just eating and watching television.  One day I even told my parents that I wanted to be a professional t.v. watcher!  Yeah,  not such a great idea.  Coming to college however sorta made me not as lazy.  There is an actual need to get off my rear-end and get some stuff done. But not intensely using my brain for four years of high school sort of made me lose some of the magical touch.  I used to walk around mindlessly without a thought in the world, but now a days my head is just jam packed full of things that I don’t even understand.  I didn’t expect college to be this hard and hectic.  I didn’t expect to have to read and study every single damn night.  And I really didn’t expect to have to wake up even earlier than I did in high school.  But walking around Baruch does sort of make me feel proud of myself, being an actual college student and all.  I never thought that finishing up work would be so pleasing to me.  Maybe there was this hidden asian nerd inside of me just waiting to pop out and study.  But besides the satisfaction that I get out of studying, there are some other good things about being in college.  Like the humongous library, and the elevators and escalators, and even the one dollar pizzas across the street.  Some downers however include the lack of sleep, crowded halls, and halal that tastes like a monkeys ass.  I didn’t know that there could be a halal that tasted like cow manure, but I was proven wrong, yes indeed.  Anyways, even though college is hard and arduous and other SAT words synonymous to difficult, studying and working hard isn’t all that bad. And I ALREADY learned one important thing about life from the short time I had in college:  if you don’t enjoy what you’re doing, whatever it is you do, that thing is gonna be shit in your life.   So try to have fun with whatever you do, even if at times you do get lazy.

Hi.  I think I am at heart a passionate and outgoing person but lack the push and motive to make me want to do anything out of my comfort zone.  Having confidence and easily talking to others are traits that I have that make me who I am.  I have no fear of talking to a large crowd and am good at thinking outside of the box when I am put on the spot.

My top three concerns about freshman year are mainly taken place in the classroom..  As of now, my concerns have no changed at all and I am still fearful of the rest of my academic year.  In high school, truly studying for something hour on hour was a very rare thing to come by, however in college it is literally an everyday thing.  My first concern is whether or not I will be able to keep up my studies and persevere through the rest of the semester.  My second concern is getting to class on time for my early morning classes.  So far I have perfect attendance and have not been late to any of my classes, but I worry that I will not be able to keep this up.  My last concern is staying awake during long classes with minimal sleep from the night before.  Some classes are just so comfortable, with their soft cushiony seats and cozy environment.

What I think will make my college experience different from my high school experience is the level of effort I will have to put in every day.  The number of hours that I study every week has increased exponentially from my high school years.  Also waking up for a long commute to school is yet another challenge.

My first year of college will definitely change me for the better.  I will be more focused and attentive in school, actually being interested in what I am learning.  I think after this year I will come out more mature and ready for the future that lies ahead of me.  Hopefully a decision for what I want to do with my life career-wise will pop into my head.
