This sums up what I felt about the weather lately, and unfortunately, it’s going to get worse.

Can’t wait to escape winter during the winter break!

But like, what is sleep anymore?

Cat Filing Its Nails

This was and is my reaction to 99% of this semester, especially when I found out that I had to do the third blog post even though Cristina, our peer mentor, said on the last day of Freshman Seminar that we did not need to complete it.

This is me in the following scenarios.

“Oh, so the semester ends next week.”

“Oh, you don’t get eight hours of sleep everyday.”

“Oh, I have to do blog post #3 now?”

“Oh, you’re going to miss me.”

“Oh, you’re pulling all-nighters to complete the midterm/final?”

“Oh, did you just ask me to get lunch from one of those food trucks from across the street?”

“Oh, we’ve met before?”

“Oh, you’re majoring in [insert any major in the Business School].”

“Oh, you’re upset because you got a B.”

“Oh, please tell me more. I’m very interested.”

“Oh, you party a lot and get crazy drunk. Tell me more.”

“Oh, I’m pretty sure you’ve already mentioned/said/discussed this before.”

“Oh, you don’t understand how I’m able to manage and maintain my social life, family life, my education, cooking for my family and friends, time with my cat, and time for myself?”

“Oh, you don’t listen to @serial?”

“Oh, you don’t like animals?”

“Oh, you don’t like coffee?”

“Oh, so you say you like coffee, but you drink Starbucks.”

“Oh, you don’t like me?”

“Oh, you think I’m mean?”

AND

“Oh, you don’t like New York?”

The was me a majority of my time in my first semester. I was confused on a lot of class work and just confused where I belong in school, especially deciding what my major should be. However, I felt that after one semester, I think i got a better feeling of my surroundings and I’m starting to adjust. College is okay for me so far and i hope it gets better each semester.  Other than that, what?

Posting this just incase. Cause I don’t wanna take FRO again. but yeah. ^basically me errday. A princess that only wants sleep. kpce. I’mma go back to sleep.

“I be chilling. and shit.” There are a lot of important things in life and there are a lot of things i want to do accomplish but the most important thing is to be happy. At baruch College, I am almost always happy. This picture kind of sums everything up. I’m not worried about anything. I’m chilling.

Having been at Baruch for three months, I am still excited. Commuting to the campus still bothers me. It is a “miracle” that the train arrives on time. It is always delayed. Besides that, everything works pretty well. I enjoyed the free time between classes and plenty of food choices around the campus. I checked most of the campus’s resources during these three months. Writing center is great; staffs there are willing to help. It is difficult to schedule an appointment there during the end of the semester. I went to many club meetings during these three months. However, I still don’t have an intention to join any one of them yet. I plan to join at least one of them soon. Overall, I really enjoyed my first three months at Baruch!

while I feel like this picture sums everything up pretty well, I think I should continue a  bit more. This first semester has been great. If every other semester ends up like this one, college is going to be a okay. Sure, there are some things I’d do over in a heart beat,  but in the words of Sid Vicious  “Regrets, I’ve had a few, but then again, too few to mention.”

I know I am just a little bit late, but it’s only a little, come on…

• I talked to Professor Deanna. Since I already gave my speech and don’t know what I said during the speech, I’ve decided to write some bulletpoints of my speech (Professor  Deanna said that it’s okay)

So here it is:

• This monologue is a good opportunity to know each other better
•  That’s why my speech is about me
• My first name is Omer, but call me Ihsan (Middle Name). It’s much easier for you to pronounce
• I am from Turkey and didn’t want to come to the USA in the first place
• I went to high school in Ct, which is a really boring state
• It was like a Turkish Boarding School
• That’s why my english is bad, because I always hanged out with my Turkish friends (I regret)
• Now here I am in College. I thought It was going to be fun, but it’s not
• All I do is go to school, then do the homework (What a perfect life we have)
• I hope everything’s going to be better after the Freshman Year
• I LOVE SOCCER!

I posted a status on Facebook when college started regarding my impending entrance into Baruch. In retrospect, calling it anything less than an outpouring of regret and grief would not do justice to the sadness that I felt as I was writing it.

And it is still much the same: the prospect of leaving my family in financial destitution, severing bonds with all the cherished friends that I have built up over the years, still resonates emptily in my heart. It is the day when I will become an adult, the day when a new college will inaugurate my independence with new demands and new hardships. The prospect of facing this alone, without my past friends, is daunting.

However, I’ve met my incoming classmates, who have proven to be true gold in the face of the fire and have given me something to look forward to in Baruch.

Thanks guys – Kevin
