I am the person who never gives up, fully capable of accomplishing anything.  I know I can do anything, and at the moment, I’m going to get a 4.0.  I understand it can be regarded as cockiness but I like to call it confidence.

Some of my majors concerns at Baruch is the absence of fun and community.  Everyone commutes to school and everyone is in a learning block.  No one is ever around to hang out and be bored.  Being part of a learning block also contributes to that lack of community.  Sure, I get to know those 20 people better but it really limits the opportunity to meet new people.  Also I’m a bit concerned about majors and what the future holds for me at Baruch.  What major should I be setting myself for? What kinds of courses should I take?  How about internships?  I remember being in high school freshmen year and not worrying about college but it hit me rather quickly and I don’t want a similar wall to hit me in college.

Hopefuly Baruch will be different from high school, but right now little has changed.  I spend most of my time going from class to class with similar people.  I commute every day to school and I hang out with mostly people from high school.  It might be a product of coming from a school that has so many people go to Baruch, but it has many pros and cons.  However I want my college academic career to be different from high school, I want to be that 4.0 student and I want to be on top of all the opportunities I know I will receive.

I think my first year of college will make me slightly more independent.  Constantly staying on top of my homework and assignments even though they aren’t checked as often is learning experience.  I’ve grown to go to class and do homework not because I’m forced to, but because I want to and want to know whats going on so I can use that knowledge and make myself some money!
