This Is Me
I’m really shy when it comes to meeting new people. I can be really awkward too. But once you get to know me, I can be super crazy. Family and friends are my top priorities. “Count your blessings, not your problems” is a quote I live by because many people complain about their lives and forget how blessed they are to be living in this world.
I enjoy reading, browsing the internet, and of course, eating. If I could eat McDonald’s chicken nuggets and drink bubble tea everyday, I’d be more than glad to. My favorite hobby is volleyball although I don’t think I’m any good. Two summers ago, I used to play it every day with my friends. It was my way of reducing stress and having fun.
This past summer, it was my first time visiting China. I experienced culture shock because it was so different. No one spoke English; everyone spoke Mandarin. I don’t speak Mandarin at all. The climate was hotter and really humid compared to the weather in New York. Many public places didn’t have toilets. A lot things were really cheap, including food, clothes, transportation, etc. It was a great experience and I will definitely go back soon.
Entering Baruch College was not what I was expecting. It’s different from what we see in movies because we don’t have a huge campus. It doesn’t really feel like I’m in college considering there is no campus life. However, I’m enjoying myself so far. I’ve made new friends and I’m looking forward to the upcoming years.
