Coming into Baruch College, I had no idea what to expect. The way college works is completely different from High School, because I now have the ability to walk out whenever I want to, and I don’t even have to raise my hand to use the bathroom. Along with these “privileges” I am now held accountable for everything I do and don’t do. It is definitely a whole new experience.
Education was always a big thing in my family. My decision to attend Baruch was not really a surprise for anyone. It’s almost in our blood to be business oriented. It is also my biggest difficulty when it comes to school. I was most worried about math when I started school. Math was always one of my most difficult subjects. I always had a hard time with it, even in first grade, where the most we were expected to do was to count our fingers. I’ve heard that the math classes at Baruch were brutal. Despite the fact that I was horrible in math, I still had hope to pass this class
As nervous as I was, it was better than I thought it would be. Although the commute is definitely not the funniest thing to do every morning, I could get used to it. As I handed in my first paper, I breathed a sigh of relief. My first month at Baruch was finally over, although things were definitely harder than high school, the workload was bearable.
