To start off, I underestimated Baruch College. I did not take College seriously. However, after a few weeks, I adapted to the surroundings and I gradually developed a better studying habit. I did not expect much from Baruch, but after these past months, I learned not to underestimate anything. The workload at Baruch is overwhelming, but after a while, it isn’t so bad. My first semester did not go as well as I wanted to. I learned that I was particularly weak in many subjects and that I need to develop more. Most of my professors are understanding and great inspirations, but the ones that aren’t always seem to rain down on my parade. If I could change something from my first semester, I would have definitely studied more and put more effort into my work. Since the first day of college, I developed into a more organized and independent person. I am able to depend on myself and sometimes have people rely on me. Overall, my first semester of Baruch was a stepping stone in my path to succed.
