Hey Guys!
This is Caitlin!
This is Caitlin!
and I’m a transfer Junior at Marymount Manhattan. I transferred in this semester from a big state school in South Carolina, so it’s been a huge change so far.
Let me tell you, the last month or so has been a whirlwind of a lot of fun different stuff here at Marymount. In the past month I have made some amazing friends, seen some amazing things and even enjoyed my classes (crazy, right?). I can’t believe it’s just getting started.
You can tell the school year has started because of all the work that’s been piling up. This week, on top of studying for my exams in Principles and Theories of Communication and Intro to Asian Religions, I saw a one man show called “Through the Night” and went to the Comm Arts departments “Career Night Out”. So it’s been a busy week, but it’s not SO bad. The key is figuring out how to juggle school, a job, and the ever-bustling social life that comes with living in the Big Apple for the first time ever.

I am finding that it’s easier to make time for school work than it used to be because the teachers at Marymount are so inspiring. They obviously love the subjects they’re teaching and the discussions in class actually translate to the work that I have to do outside of class (and trust me that is not always the case, especially if you come from a big state school like I did).
But the hardest part so far as been trying to find a job! No matter how much work experience I had, it wasn’t “New York City” experience—and all I wanted was a little job in retail! Not to fret, I did in fact find one (FINALLY!) at the only PB Teen in the Northeast. Not the best job I’ve ever had, but hey money is money, and money is needed in the city.
I think that’s all I got to say for now so till next time (if I make it through midterms, haha)!
