MY FISRT SEMESTER EXPERIENCE AT BARUCH LIVED UP TO MY EXPECTATIONS ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES I FEEL THAT THIS ISN’T A COLLEGE BECAUSE IT’S RIGHT IN THE HEART OF NEW YORK CITY. THIS SEMESTER WENT BY REALLY FAST AND I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT. HONESTLY I’LL MISS THE LC BECAUSE IT REALLY HELP ME I GUESS BOND WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE AND WE WORK TOGETHER TO GET A’s. NON LC PEOPLE PROBABLY CAN’T DO THAT!

IF I COULD DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN MY FIRST SEMESTER IT WOULD BE BECOMING A PEER MENTOR! I DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THAT FREAKING DEADLINE BUT IT DON’T MATTER IF I GOT THE INTERVIEW, I’D GUARANTEED THE JOB BUT, W.E GOOD LUCK TO THOSE WHO DID ATTEMPT TO BECOME ONE.

COLLEGE DIDN’T REALLY CHANGE ME MUCH, I AM STILL THAT SAME OUTGOING FRIENDLY PERSON. AND CONGRATS TO EVERYONE BECAUSE WE’RE ALMOST DONE THIS SEMESTER!!!!

IT’S TRUE THAT WHEN PEOPLE SAY “THE OLDER YOU GET, THE FASTER TIME PASSES.” IT’S ALREADY 2 MONTHS INTO COLLEGE AND ALL THE WORK WE DONE FEELS LIKE NOTHING. ANYWAY IN THESE FEW MONTHS, I FEEL THAT COLLEGE IS SUCH AN UNIQUE EXPERIENCE. AFTER TRANSITING FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND SETTLING IN WITH ALL MY CLASSMATES I FEEL THAT EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT AND INTERESTING IN THEIR OWN WAY. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION A FEW THAT I’LL REMEMBER YEARS FROM NOW EVEN THOUGH I WILL DEFINITELY REMEMBER EVERYONE. MIKE LAST NAME IS SO FREAKING COOL AND HE TOLD HIS MONOLOGUE IN ITALIAN HOW “FREAKING FLY IS THAT?” TED IMPERSONATION OF “P.H. (CODE WORD SO HE WON’T FIND OUT” IS HILARIOUS  AHAHHA “WHAT DID YOU SAY?” AND RAJ, THIS GUY IS IN EVERY IPAD RAFFLE CAN’T BLAME HIM LOL!!!!!!! MAKE SURE YOU ENTER THE MUSEUM ONE. LMAO.

SO I’M GOING TO KEEP THIS SHORT, AND HOPEFULLY ALL YOU GUYS WILL DO GREAT NOT ONLY THIS YEAR BUT, IN THE FUTURE. I’M SO GLAD TO HAVE MET ALL OF YOU GUYS, AND GOOD LUCK!

Ok, so it took me like twenty hours to figure out how to create and write this blog. So my first concern about my first year at Baruch is obviously my grade. I’m definitely working hard to get a 4.0 GPA because competition is so fierce now in this economy. A 4.0 will give me a much needed advantage over my fellow classmates and other students. My second concern this year is getting involved in school. I want to get the most out of my college experience so I’m deciding whether or not I should join a club or fraternity, if so which one?. My final concern this year is actually about financial aid for next semester. I mean who wouldn’t want to save some money?

College is different from high school in many ways but, the one thing that would make my college experience different from high school is the pace. It’s much quicker and therefore everyone needs to bring their “A” game. Also knowing that Baruch is the most diverse college in the nation I am looking forward to meeting each and every student at Baruch this experience would be unmatchable.

The first year at Baruch will make me a much more enthusiastic and open person. Especially because my fellow classmates and I are in a learning community which is a fabulous way to start off our careers at Baruch. It really helped me transit from high school. Who knows?, I may be a peer mentor in the future so watch out! As to telling you guys who I am, I don’t like to write it. I prefer to talk to you guys in person and I am looking forward to that! So enjoy your college experience!

P.S. my friend Raj stole my motto “JUST DO IT!” – NIKE, LOL.
