For me, the most useful workshop was the class advisement one. It was helpful during class registrations. I was able to plan the path I’d take to get to my major. I thought the advisement workshop could have been better. It could have been more thorough and the requirements for the next class could have been explained better. But, overall it was pretty good. It helped a lot.

I chose this picture because it’s exactly how I feel. It’s been stressful. The workload has been overwhelming. Way, way more than I expected. I thought I was ready enough since my last year in high school, all we did in my classes was write a paper. One paper every two weeks or so. But I guess it wasn’t enough. I’ve had more all-nighters in my first semester of college than in my whole high school life. Wow.

Dear Professor Hensley,

I was not able to make it to class and take the midterm today. I was suffering from the flu and went to see the doctor. I would like to know if I could make up the test and if so when. Thank you very much.

College. Before I went to school in Baruch, that word really terrified me. And I think it still does. It’s intimidating to think that it’s the last four years of your life before you become a complete adult and be responsible for everything you’d have to encounter in your life. I do not want to grow up. At all. Unless it’s about my height, ’cause I could really use some growing up. I want to stay a kid forever. I want to still rely on my parents. Because frankly, I’m too lazy and scared to do things on my own. I do not want to be burdened with responsibilities like my parents are. If only I had the ability to time travel. That’d definitely make things easier for me. I could go into the future and see how my life turned out. I could correct my mistakes. Or not. I think I’ll leave my mistakes alone. They did, after all, make me learn my lesson. But I could go back in time to when things were easier. Times when I was still a young’un, still learning about the world which I found so mysterious and intriguing (Not that I stopped learning now, because I still do). Damn, I wanna be a kid again.

Yup, I’m Jay. I’ve created this playlist http://grooveshark.com/#!/playlist/JayT/77721670 to share some insight to who I am. The playlist I have contains songs that are of different genres and different artists. Ranging from Jay-Z to Bob Marley to Skrillex. Similar to the playlist, I have a mixed personality. I get along with anyone, even if I’ve only met them for a brief period of time. I may be shy at first, but when you get to know me, I can be crazy. Well not crazy like someone who would just go running out in the streets in their underwear screaming gibberish stuff. No, not that crazy. Crazy as in outgoing, that I’d be willing to try anything with a friend for the sake of fun and some laughs and having a carpe diem mentality (YOLO, just kidding).
