The transformation from high school into college was quite what I had expected. A lot more responsibilities and a lot more independence. Just the short experience of less than three months has taught me so much, and I’m looking forward to learning even more. These small experiences can lead to big lessons that we may not realize at the moment. I know for sure that when we look back we’ll consider the inconsiderate things around us more significant than we do now. Throughout my life I haven’t really done anything extraordinary and every day I hope that will change. By extraordinary I mean doing something for another, completely selfless of your own interests. Perhaps you’ll give up your seat for an elderly in the train, and that will keep you smiling all day long. But I want to do something bigger that’ll make me smile every day of my life. The most important thing I’ve realized is that in the future, I’ll regret things I haven’t done more than the things I have done. Not trying to preach YOLO here, because I’m not considering dropping out of college and becoming a complete rebel to society’s rules. College is a part of life, and it should be lived up as much as possible. The experience I’m gaining from Baruch every day, I believe, will lead me to that unknown big motive I want to achieve in my life; Whether it involves getting Chipotle with your friends during your break, or meeting fascinating new people. And through meeting new people I’ve actually had the opportunity to reflect upon myself. I’ve gained a comparison of how people see me and how I view myself. I think I would consider myself a diary. You can read everything written in it and understand it in your own way, but no one will know the true meaning except the writer itself; Also, a diary and not a book because this story is continuously being written and never stops.
