LC 14

Wow. My first semster of college is just about through. I can’t believe it. When I came to Baruch I envisioned something different. A lot of what I pictured did not happen, but overall the experience was good. I enjoyed it. I got to meet great people and learned how to travel on the subways by myself- something honestly so different to me. I’m really glad that I did decide to join a LC because it gave me a good foundation for starting college. I got to know peers like myself, met some real good friends, and had a peer mentor to give me a heads-up.

I think I handled the first semester pretty good. My patterns were kind of the same as highschool. I always did my work, it was just the managing-my-time factor that tripped me up. In the future, I plan to manage my time more efficiently and get more sleep.

There are only two things I regret. One, I wish I would have gotten help earlier with calc. (Analucia warned me but I thought I had it down.) Obviously not. Lastly, I would probably ask more questions as well as answer more questions in class.

Have I changed since I started at Baruch? I don’t think I did. I mean, I definetly know what I want more clearly then I did a year ago. I’m definelty more motivated to finish school. I definetly want a car. Finally, I think I learned to take other people’s advice better and to listen to constructive criticism.

Anyway, it was real. I’m glad I came.
