My First Semester of College

My first semester at Baruch College has been nothing but ups and downs. Initially entering college with the mindset of transferring as soon as possible, I’ve grown to settle into the environment with no working escalators. Despite what others say, being at a CUNY definitely has its difficulties and I’ve come to realize that good grades aren’t that easy to come by anymore. I dropped Calculus this semester which kind of set me back a little and surprised me for the most part. But because of this, I think I’ll be able to get my game together for next semester. The transition to college from an amazing high experience is hard, but it’s not impossible. For the most part, Baruch has given me a valuable perspective on what college is like. I would also like to point out that it’s so easy to meet new people throughout the college. Dorming at the Ludlow building has given me a lot of chances to talk to familiar faces that I see outside of school. I would even go as far as to say that it’s given me an edge above other commuting students. But above all, my first semester at Baruch was fulfilling and whether or not it was a success will be determined in the next two weeks of finals.
