College rox

meme

This meme is relevant to most college students because we all cram at one point or another, even though that’s the worst thing to ever do. However, we all do it and it’s a bad habit of mine that I hope to one day outgrow. One day I won’t know anything about psychology and the day of the test, I am an expert on the topic so that’s why I found this meme very relevant and funny, because it’s so true!
It’s crazy just how fast the first semester of college flew by. In a few weeks we’ll all be taking our finals and putting up our Christmas trees. I was very nervous about coming to college. It meant having to separate from my best friends and not seeing them everyday at school and going to a huge school with thousands and thousands of different faces, it really scared me. It meant having to commute for up to an hour and a half four times a week, instead of 10 minutes. It meant harder tests and homework. But the way things have turned out, it makes me realize how lucky I am. I met some of the greatest and funniest people. I ask myself how I lived without them in my life before college, like every single day. It’s crazy how you can connect with someone so well. I thought I was going to dread commuting everyday to school but I really don’t. It gives me time to study or catch up on some sleep and knowing that I’ll probably laugh so hard my stomach hurts, at least once that day, makes it all worth it. I still talk to my best friends from high school every single day and I know everything that happens in their lives so I love that we’re all still so close despite the distance. In terms of the schoolwork it honestly isn’t impossible. Sometimes it gets a little much but it’s all manageable, I just wish I didn’t procrastinate with it so much. I also love how flexible classes are in college. You can ask for extensions on papers or when professors are sick class get canceled. You also get to chose your classes, times and professors which is great, although, it’s one of the most stressful things you have to endure. Overall, these past few weeks of this crazy journey, or so I thought it would be, weren’t so bad and I can only look forward to the greater things to come.

I also have several videos but this site isn’t letting any of them upload because they are “too big”, meanwhile they are like 15 seconds long but okay. I can show them to either Melissa or Victoria on Wednesday when we meet 🙂

 

 

Monologue

Hey my name is Jess and I’m from Staten Island but I’m not gonna talk about that in my monologue
I enjoy lattes and muffins in the morning but I’m not gonna talk about that in my monologue
I like country songs and cowboy boots but I’m not gonna mention that in my monologue

La la la
La la la

My favorite movie is called Mean Girls but I won’t talk about that in my monologue
I’ve only watched it one million times but I won’t say that in my monologue
Today is Wednesday so I hope you’re wearing pink if not then you can’t sit with us

La la la
La la la

I had five really close friends at my high school but I won’t mention them in my monologue
We were so close but then left for college
Now I’m really sad so I won’t talk about them in my monologue

Wah wah wah
Wah wah wah

Then I met some cool girls here at Baruch and I will talk about them in my monologue
We get daily bagels and they taste really yummy and I will say that in my monologue
We make funny faces and do silly things, they’re pretty awesome pals so I’ll mention them in my monologue

La la la
La la la

There’s nothing more to say
I’m just really swell
I hope you all enjoyed my freshman seminar monologue
