My experience at Baruch College has definitely lived up to my expectations. In the beginning, I had to adjust to the transition from high school to college. In high school, teachers cared about you and knew who you are. In college, you are treated like adults and what you choose to do or don’t do is entirely up to you without teachers or parents getting involved. There is this freedom where I can do whatever I want during my free time. My first semester went pretty good. I made friends that kept me on track. If I could do something differently, I would definitely have kept my Communication class and study a lot more and put more effort into school. I missed a few classes and assignments here and there and that just made me fall back in the class. Managing my time more efficiently is also something else that I would have done. Procrastination always gets to me and I always think I have tomorrow and the day after and the day after that but then by then its too late. I think that I’ve become more independent since I started Baruch College. Everything I do is pretty much done by myself. My professors aren’t there to guide me through school anymore. They lecture the material and understanding and studying it is up to me. Overall, I think Baruch has made me into a more independent person.
