The transition between high school and college has been easier than I expected and so far, I’ve enjoyed all my classes, made new friends and learned a lot of new and interesting things. In high school, we had teachers chasing us around for homework assignments but at Baruch everyone is on their own; which is good because that is how you become independent.
Psychology class was the most interesting but since I was still adjusting to class at 4 PM, I found myself fast asleep for one or two lectures. Math class was sort of difficult and the short length of the semester didn’t help either because the professor breezed through most topics and I had to learn some of them on my own. I think most people in the same block as me would agree that English with professor Riley was the best class because he linked the things he taught in the classroom to the outside world and made everything a lot more interesting than it should be.
I attended six freshman workshops and found the career exploration workshop to be the most helpful because they discussed things about the real world and expectations of you out there. That is something you won’t learn in any classroom and their information will probably be very helpful in the future. The other workshops didn’t do much else than introduce us new students to different things at Baruch which was helpful but not too necessary.
Now, I’m eagerly looking forward the new semester when I will start off knowing my responsibilities and making the most out of my time here at Baruch.
