It’s Over Already??

To me, my Baruch experience had definitely lived past my expectations and that’s manly because of freshman seminar. Freshman seminar had helped me all the way to get through my first year in Baruch, such as explaining how to register for classes and what are the requirements and priorities for each degree. Thanks to freshman seminar it has greatly improved my communication skills, which means I am not as shy as I was before and not afraid to speak up in class. I think I have become more mature because I’m on my own now. No one is there to walk me through anymore and hover around me on my schoolwork and stuff.
The first semester was an important experience for me because it was the starting point for college for me. It’s the experience that will lead me through the rest of my college experience. I obviously wasn’t use to the college environment since it was my first year even though I took a college now class before in Queens College. I also wasn’t use to the teachers giving me all the freedom especially with homework, projects and tests. In high school, middle school and elementary school, teachers always hover around me of the work I do.
If I could redo my experience of this first semester, I would definitely try harder on my time management of all the work I have to do for my classes because right now I am stress from all the work I have to do; I keep pushing all the work further and further into the week because I have so much things to do at once.
