As a freshman at Baruch College, it can be difficult to stay on top of all the significant events that take place. However, a great way to get through this problem is simply to ask questions and find people that can help. For example, I was recently informed that the time to choose spring semester classes was soon approaching, but I wasn’t sure what classes were more necessary over others. Often students will think it’s seen as a negative to let others know you’re confused or in need of assistance, however I feel it shows that we care enough to seek out help in the first place. Instead of waiting to the last minute to seek out assistance, I decided to go to the Academic Advisement Center on the 5th floor, and asked to sort out all of my issues with an advisor. During the session, the advisor was able to shows me a list of classes that I would be able to choose from for my next semester. He explained how and why the classes would support my major and academic requirements, which really took a load of stress of my back. After answering my question, he even asked questions about my progress so far at Baruch college and made sure that I had no further questions or issues. Following the session, I realized how easy it is to stay ahead of the game by just asking for help and support when needed. Furthermore, I am now well aware of the type of classes I should choose from. This resource in Baruch College is very beneficial to the freshman class, as a group of students in a new environment taking on new responsibility. As a result, the next time I have any question, I will not hesitate to seek academic assist.
