I Can’t Believe It’s Over; I’ll Miss You All!
December 1, 2010 by zachary.triano
My first semester at Baruch College lived up to my expectations. In the beginning, I had a hard time keeping up with all the reading, until I discovered the classes that it was not completely important to read the book in, such as in music. Once I slowed down on the unnecessary readings, I began to be able to keep up with the workload. I am self motivated, which allows me to do my papers as soon as I receive it and sometimes be able to finish the entire paper that same weekend, allowing me more time to read my textbooks.
My first semester went well; communicating with my peers and making friends was easier than I had imagined it to be. However, it is hard to keep in contact with others due to the fact that we all make different schedules and take different classes making it likely to lose touch. Moreover, that is what makes it difficult to make friends in any semester because it is likely that you will be unable to get in any of their classes in the future. If I could do it all over again, I would do everything the same way except I would have tried to make friends a little earlier in the semester and maybe the friendship would have been more likely to continue into future semesters. Since I started at Baruch College, I have become more talkative to the other students. I am sure I changed in more ways than just that, but that is the only way that I have noticed up to now.
My first simester went very fast and I can’t believe it is over already!

Having different schedules is just another way to meet new people. Take advantage of the fact that you are in different courses with different people now. My second semester at Baurch i purposely registered for classes with out know what courses any of my friends were in. It helps! You’ll be just fine. Im sure of it.
The only thing is that in the blocks, we were in all of the same classes with all the same people, while in our second simesters, it would be hard to get to know people because you only see them once a day…Did you find that as a problem in your second or any other subsequent simester?
