Right now I am not having the best time of my life as I miss all my friends I left behind once I moved here in New York. I know I don’t really put as much effort as I should in the college because I am not in a good mood as my intrinsic motivation is not really high. Although I know it is a great opportunity to be in this city and more particularly in Baruch college trying to study finance, I still feel homesick as my country is far away from here and I miss all the good times i had in Christmas holidays before i come to the university. Anyway i have to change it and start focusing more on the goals that i have set once i joined the big group of baruch students if i want to succeed on what i want to do in the future. I am not very satisfied with my social life here so far but as time goes i keep meeting more and more people and things get better for me day by day. My parents are always supporting me and my friends also but they are still far away living the lifestyle that i love to live too but i know in life it is not always having fun but also setting goals and aiming to the top. One of the reasons that i left my country from here is because i had to do 2 years of army if i stayed there after high school graduation so i took the decision to continue my life here in New York for at least the next 4 years. I would love to visit Cyprus more often, easter holidays too like my friends that study abroad but in Europe. The problem is that it is very expensive to pay for tickets so it is not worth it for me even though i want to spend more time with my friends and with family. I hope that i will feel better later on and that my expectations due social life will reach a higher level during my my appearance in this country.
