Freshman Seminar Motherblog – Spring 2013

The reason why I chose this particular meme was because I always think that I can take on anything I set my mind to. In this meme there is a little kitten that is trying to fix a flat screen television. Kittens are symbolized to be small and helpless, and taking on a job such as fixing a television is something that they obviously can’t do. In my life I always take on a million and one tasks. I jump to any opportunity that I possibly can and sometimes I end up as helpless as that kitten. I feel like in life you should always try your best and even though something looks big a complicated doesn’t mean that it can’t be done. Yes, all odds may be against you and yes it may be extremely difficult to get it done but no it isn’t impossible to do it. As long as you set your mind to it anything can be accomplished with lots of work and dedication. So even if that kitten looks helpless, it is still trying it’s best to get the job done. Just like I do whenever I am faced with a difficult task. In life everything is possible you just have to dream like you have never seen obstacles. The biggest word in this meme is wait. Nothing gets done right away sometime you have to take your time to accomplish thing, so this kitten is telling people to wait. Even though it isn’t fixed yet, it has the courage that it will be soon. As far as relation to me, even though I didn’t accomplish everything I set out to doesn’t mean I won’t have it all in the future. I have the same courage as that kitten in the MEME.

Time, time, time… what can I do with and without you?  I feel impeding worry when the seconds roll down to end the day or event I am experiencing. But we all learn over time to set time aside to pace ourselves. I learned not only should I pace myself but to laugh and smile through each experience no matter what. Cherish the moments because there is no such thing as a redo or reset with “Father Time”. So as an end note I hope you guys have a great summer be it fruitful or just plain awesome.

College is the starting point. It’s a big deal. Once I was on campus for the first time, it was an eye opener. Something you should know is that no matter the age or background the fact you were admitted to college means you are identified as “college material”. This means you should be able to pass your classes and earn a degree as long as you make a reasonable effort. I’m excited to be here and ready to begin my college career. I still feel nervous about college. Now that I’m finally here, I do wonder from time to time if i can make it through. Once classes started I had to hit the ground running, oddly said, because there is no one that keeps track of me in school. It’s been great because of the many chances to meet new people, have interesting discussions but more importantly have control of my life. That is something I find the most difficult to handle. College has this new found freedom. Because there is so much of it, we don’t usually know how to handle it very well. We notice we put alot of time in things we want to do rather than things we should do. Most of my efforts went into trying to figure out how to adequately budget my time whether it was school, work or social aspects. I saw this first semester as a balancing scale. I know its odd?! But, I think balance is important in life. As much as academics are important, staying mentally, spiritually and physically fit is too.

I like my picture, therefore you all shall see it. I created this picture because left and right, I am assigned another paper. I can’t ever take a moment to relax and take a breath. Baruch is a place where I have not come to terms with. I have become adjusted to waking up Monday through Thursdays to go to class and back home. It takes a lot for me to write papers, I am unsure why, but it’s just a challenge I constantly face. Therefore, with papers that consume my time, I have no time to join clubs or hang out with friends because I have to make sure I keep a steady high grade in each of my classes.

It took me a long time to actually feel comfortable here at Baruch. Splitting time between a full work week and school left me with little time for myself or for any other school activity. If maybe by mere exposure rather than a conscious effort, the concrete, glass, the classrooms and the city itself becomes familiar and therefore a part of my natural environment. My classes have been for the most part enjoyable and I’ve learned more or less but still learned from each of them. The students body is extremely diverse and where some may say that there is a lack of community, I would point out that there is a collective. I see it every time I’m in the library or the computer lab. The endless keyboard clicks made by students trying to achieve something for themselves. I think that’s what I’ve taken away from my first three months of being at Baruch and the city. A sharpened goal and a drive to achieve it.

Also, cats are cute.

God bless America for giving me this wonderful and exciting opportunity to learn and better myself. Truly, I have seen the light at the end of the tunnel and for the first time ever it feels as though I can finally breathe the fresh air of liberty.

Gun control completely fails to pass the Senate and Lady Liberty remains pure and sacred for another day.

The experience of this first semester of my college life left me the only feeling that is really tired. The college life is really different as my high school. There is more reading, writing, and more assignment that I had to done for each class. Every day I need to get up at 7:30, and go home at 4:30.  After that, I need to look after my children, and do house works. Finally, I do my homework around 11:30, when my children go to sleep. Sometimes, I just want to give up everything, because it is really tiring. I just wonder that when I can have enough sleeping time. However, I always tell myself, that is what the life I have been chosen, I cannot be regret, and the only thing I can do is keep forward.
