Baruch met my expectations completely, only because I didn’t make any unrealistic ones. I came here knowing that as a commuter school smack dab in New York City, one of the best words to define the atmosphere and the people would be rushed – and most people only seem to care about themselves and their classes too much to socialize. So I wasn’t really disappointed. Low expectations are always the best. Not that I don’t like Baruch or anything… I’m just making an observation.
I could have done much better in one class… so I’m kind of upset at myself for that. I pushed myself more than I did in my senior year (which is actually the hardest year in my high school, because I went to an IB school), but I still didn’t put in enough effort. I got a little too carried away with the fact that Baruch’s location is easy access to almost everything.
If I could do anything differently, I’d study more.
I haven’t changed much except for the fact that I’m a lot less shy with strangers and I don’t mind participating.
