Who are you? Doesn’t seem like it should be a difficult question, but when it is asked I am left pondering its exact meaning. Am I a sum of my life experiences? My social security number? Or am I more? Well, as simple as I can make it is: I am Brianna Todd, a student at Baruch, a friend to some, a best friend to others, a daughter, a granddaughter, a sister, a human on Earth, a writer of a blog. I am kind when I want to be, I am rude when it’s needed, mostly I’m apathetic and sarcastic, obviously. I’m a Virgo, hate long walks on the beach, and the beach all together in fact; I like food, and the color blue. This is just a small part of who I am but it’s the best I can do, and want to do in a public forum.
It is difficult addressing my concerns for the upcoming year at Baruch College because I have none. The prompt on which this is based consists of many logical fallacies, mainly because the question asks you to name your “top 3 concerns about your freshman year at Baruch College and [to] explain [those concerns].” This doesn’t allow room for someone who has none, hence, fallacy. I suppose I now am forced to be concerned about whether this response will earn me a failing mark, but as Freshman Seminar is only a pass fail course and I have completed the assignment… I digress.
So far I have yet to notice any difference from high school to Baruch, besides the price of course. Coming to college I expected to have a little more fun, perhaps a party or two but that has yet to happen, the dorms aren’t that exciting either. Other than that, due to freshman block, I see the same people all day every day, and not that I don’t like these people, I do, I just figure for such a populated college in the city I should be exposed to a little more diversity, however I am going around with the same group of people as I had in AP courses in high school. Oh, but I forgot, the commute is different as well, I now take a train instead of a bus.
How do I believe college will change me? Apparently I’ll be able to tell the future and answer this question. I have yet to develop that special ability yet, so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Who knows perhaps my contempt for writing a blog will disintegrate.
There is a quote that reads “If you’re bored, then you’re boring” Not that I necessarily agree with this, but I think it’s another way of saying that there’s nothing stopping you from taking control of your own life. If you want to have fun, then find a way to do so!
I like food too 😀
Yeah, I’m familiar with that quote, it’s part of that song Flagpole Sitta. Good song.
Never heard that song, but I shall.
Also, I promise the future mandatory blogs will be a bit more entertaining.
In the meanwhile, feel free to blog about whatever you want! It’s a nice way to express yourself
