I remember my first day in high school as a freshman. I walked into the school to my first class. I looked around, I didn’t know anyone. The same thing happened in the next class and the class after that. By the end of the day I had felt lonely. None of my previous friends went to this high school. It was as if I had to start over again, start an entire new life. Although I warmed up to the self-reliant atmosphere of high school I have always missed my old friends. Some of which, I have recently found out go to Baruch. I should begin catching up with them in my free time. Till this day I still believe that friends are not something you want to lose.
As an freshman I expect to work much harder than I did in high school. I plan to join Baruch’s tennis team and some clubs if I have time. When I first came to Baruch I expected college to be fairly easy and it was, at first. But as the semester went on things got much more difficult than I had originally expected. Especially for history. It has never been my strongest subject but I have never recieved a horrible grade. My biggest concern at the moment is falling behind in the reading. Some classes, including Anthropology, requires intensive reading everyday. One class is not difficult to manage but grouped together with several other classes, keeping up with the reading might be an issue. In the course of this semester I hope to improve my study habbits and time management.
