Synthesis of Information

This week so far has not been so great, to be honest as I was basically butchered with assignments. Not only that I also had a math exam this Tuesday which I am sure I did well in or hoping so I did. I need to start studying for my psychology exam which is this Wednesday so that is something I am honestly not looking forward to. One thing I was able to finish this week is a rough draft for my English research paper. It was not hard rather just long and time-consuming. Overall this week has not to beat my personal record of my worst weeks in Baruch so I guess that’s something to reflect on in the future. But I am glad this week is over I am another week close to my winter break.

Senior of high school was quite complicated for me as I did not know what I wanted to study attending college. So synthesizing information helped me out a lot as it helped me question what I wanted. I started looking at review papers of various different colleges to best align my life goals. I choose Baruch by reading about this college on many different social media platforms and magazines. So I was able to use those sources of information to better understand college and their values. If I had to describe this process visually it would look something like a pros and cons chart but also ideas just flowing around my mind. I experienced a lot of unanswered questions in a source but I was able to get those answers from a different source that had covered the same topic. The different sources help me put together an organized synthesis of just full out information which helps me tremendously as it put my plans to attend Baruch in motion.
