I didn’t have much expectations in the first place. I came in thinking all I had to do was to do good in exams and study once in awhile. I didn’t think attendance and homework was such a big deal in college as I heard from everyone else. I still can’t find much to do at Baruch other than to do your homework and kill time.
I think it went pretty bad. I wasn’t prepared for this work load nor did I feel I was given the freedom I thought I was going to get. School is the same as always, its not about if your good at something or not but its the amount of work you do. I barely did any homework and only get 80s in test. I’d settle for a B but its definitely going down to a C or D because of the missing homework.
I’d use the planner. I need to organize my day so that I can finish my work and do whatever. This semester I just did whatever I felt like doing and I think its going pretty bad. I dropped the only class I was sure I failed and I would be lucky coming out of this semester with a 2.0 GPA. Other then that I think everything I did wasn’t too bad.
I think I’m too old to change haha. I admit I do need to change on my working habits and get better at time management but I haven’t changed yet. I still like to just relax and go out with friends. Plus, I don’t think going to college is such a life changing event. It’s just another school with the same expectations as the others. Do your work and get good grades. Only difference is, I don’t think I can cruise through this like I did in high school.
