Baruch, in terms of work, has definitely exceeded my expectations. Presently, I have so many essay’s to write, I have no time to enjoy anything. If I put all the work aside however, Baruch has been an overall fun and exciting experience. I think the main reason why Baruch is at least some what enjoyable is because it is in the city. Different places to eat and the places to go seem endless while your there. So, in result Baruch has definitely exceeded my appetite.
My first semester at Baruch has definitely gone well so far. I’ve gotten mostly good grades from all my classes. I’m probably going to a decent starting GPA which I’m happy about. English is starting to become a struggle due to my professor being a harsh grader. I don’t really mind since I’m really not good at writing in general and I don’t really care about other people’s critique of my own writing. In just my first semester of Baruch, I realize why people think that college is difficult. Many people have some sort of idea in their head that in college you gain a lot more responsibility. However, I think professors lose a lot more responsibility which makes academic work much more difficult for the student. For example some professors have the nerve to not even give simple reminders to students about an upcoming test. Helping students is most likely in the job description in being a professor and not doing these simple things is just laziness on their behalf. If one of my particular professors was more apt in aiding students and actually cared about teaching, my semester might of been better for me and many of my fellow classmates.
One thing I would change if I could do this semester all over again is get more sleep. I am usually late for many of my early classes because I’m just feel too tired to wake up for them. If sleep wasn’t an issue for me, I believe my first semester of Baruch would of been better. With more sleep, I would be more lively and able to pay attention during class.
I don’t think I’ve changed to greatly because of college. I’m still basically the same kind of person. I always do my work at the last minute and accomplish it. I still love all the things I used to love and look forward to everyday. A few things that have changed are my daily lunch and my Facebook friend count increased.
