FRO 14 DTI

Ever since I was young, I lived under the same roof as my cousins. Since they were all older than me, I did not worry about my future. I thought that there was still a long way for me to experience all the hard work that my cousins had to do. Before I knew it, I was in high school. I still remember how I felt when I was getting ready to apply for college. Everything felt surreal at that moment. I realized that I could no longer be the little kid who only cared about playing games, watching movies, and reading books. I have to think about where I am heading in the future. Upon entering Baruch College, I met many ambitious and hardworking students pursuing their dreams. I am slightly envious of them. My intended major is Accounting, but it isn’t because I have a huge passion for business. My parents “highly suggested” this major to me because it provides a stable job. But who knows? Maybe I will end up liking business when I start taking business classes. In college, I have more freedom to roam around the city and relax during breaks between classes. This is a good thing, but it comes with a price. I have the responsibility to get to class on time and manage my time at home effectively. Time management has always been a struggle for me since middle school. I always put off my homework and projects for the last minute. After class, I go straight home to maximize my time to do work, but I have trouble starting my assignments because I end up chatting with my friends instead. Procrastination has caused me to get an average of five hours of sleep per day. The balance of social life, good grades, and sleep is very difficult to achieve. Hopefully by the end of this semester, I am able to master time management without having to sacrifice one of those three things.

This is picture represents me because it shows how bad I am with time management. The time is telling me to start my work, but I’m trying to avoid it.
