my playlist-

1. I believe I can fly- R Kelly

This song is one that relates to me. Its underline meaning is that the artist truly believe he can fly, when it so clearly is impossible. The fact that this is the message from this song shows that the artist had the same mentality as I do. Although it seems nearly impossible, I believe, or at least try to believe, that I can accomplish it.

2. Runaway love- Ludacris

This song is sad, but yet quite meaningful. It related to my life when I was about 10 yeas old. I had a friend who had a life just as the artist described. A mother who was crazy, a father who was never there for her, and a girl who was lost in this world. She felt lonely and worthless.

3. When September Ends.-

This song relates to me every year. Whether it was the start of third grade, junior year in high school, or freshman year in college, I feel the same about the month of september. Coming from a few months of summer, I just feel the same sort of hatred towards the month of September. Hence, I just want this month to pass within a blink of an eye.

4. Just the way You are-

This song describes the mentality I have with my girlfriend. I believe she is beautiful, funny, and smart, and I love everything about her. Since she is the best in so many ways, I never want her to change. This song basically describes a person who you would want to stay the same forever because you believe she, or he, is perfect in your eyes.

5. Misery- Maroon 5

The theme of this song is describing what a person needs to get out of his misery. There are many times in life when I feel awful, and I just need something to make me feel better. This song explains that without comfort from someone, the artist will remain in misery forever.

6. Find you love- Drake

This song describes the strength love can have between two individuals. I have this idea in mind when I think of marriage. When I grow older, and i want to get married, I want to think of this song. Understanding that love can be so powerful, I know that nothing can break the connection between my wife and myself.

7. Billionaire- Bruno Mars

This song basically describes the mentality of every being. “I want to become a billionaire.” Although everyone knows the difficulty of this task, everyone seems to strive for that goal. I, obviously, have that same idea. I want to be so successful, that I can call myself a billionaire.

8. Knock you Down- Keri Hilson

Sometimes love is harder to understand than you think. It is like a struggle you have to overcome. There are times when I feel, and believe, that love is great, but there are times in which we find that love brings you down. This songs describes the ups and downs of love, and shows that its a constant fight when it comes to love.

9. Forever Young- Drake

This song would have a stronger impact on me when I grow older. This song describes the feeling elders have as the become older; wanting to go back in time and stay young forever. Knowing myself, I would want to live life as a college student forever.

10. Russian Roulette- Rihanna

This song describes the “game” which was “played” years back. The game of Russian Roulette is all about risk. Although it may seem a bit extreme, this song gives an important message to everyone. This lesson teaches us that sometimes, in order to be successful in life, one must take risks.

My name is Troy Kordvani, and I am a freshman in Baruch College. I am coming from a private school in Long Island called HANC. I am one of 5 kids in my family, and I am unfortunately still living at home. In this monologue, I will be speaking about my life as I am transitioning into the college life.

Firstly, I want to speak about what I am afraid of.  From the moment graduated high school, and I realized that i am going to college in just a couple of months, I was quite nervous. I didn’t know what to expect and what I was supposed to do to be fully prepared for College. College as a whole was something I was somewhat afraid of my whole life. Being that I am from a private school in Long Island, entering Baruch College was a difficult task. Both the harder workload, and the new atmosphere I had to blend in with, I was a bit afraid when College first started.

On a better note, I want to discuss the things in life that truly make me happy; family, friends, and sports. Spending time with the family gives me comfort because it gives me an idea that there are always people there for me at all times. Friends just bring me joy. By just spending a couple of minutes with a friend, relaxes my body and brings a smile to my face. Sports is a hobby of mine. Both following sports and playing sports, gives me satisfaction.

There are many things in life that are important to me. The things mentioned above, family, friends, and sports, with the addition of school, are the main factors in life in which I truly care about. Since I have yet to decide what I want to do with my life, school plays a significant role in my life.

I also want to describe a time in which I felt embarrassed in life. It was about a few months ago, when I was doing my internship in the summer. Feeling that i was sort of important, being employed and all, I felt like wearing a nice suit to work. After just an hour into work, I dropped my pen in front of my co-worker. As I was picking it up, of course, my pants ripped, and I had a huge hole in my pants for the rest of the day. That was probably the most embarrassing moment of mine in the past ten years.

There was a time in life where I felt empowered. Being that I didn’t seem fully independent without my driver’s license, receiving my license was an important time in my life. The fact that I passed my road test on my first attempt, I felt extremely proud of myself. The day I received my license, I felt on top of the world.

As about of month of my college experience has past, I have some feelings I want to share. I want to tell everyone about my most important struggle as a college student. The hardest thing, in my opinion, that I must overcome during this transition from high school to college, must be time management. Although it may seem that I have all the time in the world to do my things, I seem to struggle to manage my time. I have to understand when there is time for work and when there is time for relaxation. Since no one is on top of you in college, time management is a task a struggle with in college.

Finally, I want to tell everyone about my favorite part about college. Since I am coming from a private school that has both a dress code and a dual curriculum, the fact that Baruch College has neither, I enjoy that part about college most.

During this transition, it is clear that I will struggle with things I can understand and things that I just can not accept. To help myself go through these tough times, I have a personal motto I follow. “Everything happens for a reason.” This idea gives me an understanding when I tend to get upset over things I just can not understand.
