The first semester at Baruch was exactly like a roller coaster. Waiting to get on the ride was a very long wait but the ride it self was exhilarating, just like the first semester at Baruch. At first I was scared that I wasn’t going to be able to adapt to the new environment and that I was going to do worse than I am already doing. Now I look back and it seems like I did okay. I could’ve done worse and I could’ve done better but that is the past now. I was also worried that my old high school habits were going to show up but at some point during the first semester I was able to shake off most of it. The first semester is about to end and I would like to make sure that I pass my final exams and complete all the assignments. There is a lot of work to be completed but I’m going to do it. I’m not going to worry about how good I am going to do but more of the fact that I am going to give 130% of my effort to completing my first semester of college. Sure I am going to look back at this first semester and wonder why I did so bad, or not, but I feel that would be better than regret not giving it all my best. Sometimes I think I won’t be able to do it, but I am going to change that. The fact that I survived the past 3 months gives me motivation to finish strong. It may or may not result in a good grade but the only thing I can do about it is try.

Yesterday’s enrichment workshop was nice. The guy stood in front of us to speak his mind and I thought It was pretty cool. I can agree to his statement about how helping others is the best thing to do. How going to do something for someone is probably the best feeling in the world as well. I try to follow his exact footstep as well even though I mostly fail I go to sleep thinking I tried at least. I have been told to try and help others at all times ever since I was born so it’s nothing new to me. Just that I would rather sleep because sometimes I am in a bad mood. Fro was fun.

Our group made the New York Times “front page” about music festivals. We chose music festivals as our topic because we first wanted to do about raves and electronic festivals but that was too narrow. So we decided to make our topic more vague. Out group selected articles events from Tommorow world, Electric Zoo, EDC, and the concert that was held at Baruch with the famous artist, Jojo. These articles concerns our life during the first semester at Baruch because we are starting to move forward in our life and we should not forget to have fun as well. These music festivals are a great way for students like us to, relieve our stress, forget about exams and grades, and just have fun in general.

It’s a pleasure to meet you all, my name is Yoshinori Andy Shinohara. Yoshinori is a combination of my fathers name and grandfathers name. Andy was my fathers favorite name because of the brand “andy-boy”. My dad is the store owner of a japanese cuisine restaurant in soho and when I was born they stopped ordering from that company, thus it became my english name. My parents were both born in Japan while my siblings and I were born in New York City. I am fluent in Japanese because while attending elementary,middle, and some of my high school years, I attended a Japanese saturday school. There I learned what the students in Japan were learning except that for me one weeks worth of school work was compressed into 6 hours. I attended 2 high schools, but I graduated from Cardozo high school. I really liked high school even though I didn’t do much, except slack and bum around. I like to have fun no matter where I go even if it the most tedious thing ever. I wish to get far in life after college, but I have honestly no idea where I am headed to even though I am in a business college. I still have not been able to grasp the fact that I am a college student. I am the type to not choose things until the last minute. So until the very last minute I will try to have as much fun as possible. Yes, it sounds very irresponsible but this is the way I figured works best for me. Under some conditions in life I may choose a new way to live life but for now I am going go through with this. I am very anxious about the future that lays ahead of us, and I wish you all the best in life.
