My first semester at baruch is almost over and must i say it flew by quite fast. The first semester has helped me become more responsible. Im happy that we had such a great LC and everyone got along so well. If we werent in a LC i dont think the semester would of gone as smoothly.  One thing i would change about this semester is definitely taking sociology much more seriously and probably not stressing over next semesters schedule. Since starting Baruch i think i have matured quite a bit. The transition from high school to college wasn’t hard but it was something new and i believe i made a good transition. The first semester made me more responsible and a bit less lazy. Lets see how next semester goes when we are all in different classes and there is no more LC.

What i like most about college is the freedom. You have the choice to do whatever you want whenever you want. But with the independence comes hard work in school. Thanks to college i actually started studying even for quizzes and reading the textbook, something i have never done before. One of my biggest challenges is staying awake in history; all the talk of devloping and MesoAmrica puts me to sleep. Yesterday i fell asleep in class and almost fell out of my chair. Hopefully the rest of the semester picks up and ends up better than the first half.

I am a son, brother, uncle, student, adult, individual, a dude with long hair.
My first concern is getting settled into the school and really adapting to my surroundings. I’d hope by the end of the first semester i’ll know the school very well. Im concerned with finding the best route to get to school because recently the trains and buses have completely turned into my enemy. My last concern is the parties at Baruch..Are there any?

The difference between Highschool and Baruch is the freedom. In college you could do almost anything, its really all on you. I like the independence, its a taste of the real world.

My first year in college will hopefully make me even more responsible and independent.
