The experience at Baruch did not live up to my expectations. It is not so much the school but more of my fault. I think I have yet to experience the things I’m supposed to when I’m in college. I think it is only because I didn’t endeavor to do so. I didn’t join any clubs or make friends (to hang out with). Many people told me that if they can go back and repeat a time of their life, they would go back to college. I want to look back at my experiences and say the same thing.
The first semester went by quickly. Before I know it the end was already approaching. I think I got mediocre grades. I can’t be too proud of myself when I know I could have done better. Next semester I’m determined to change my ways. First I would spend less time doing useless things and read more. The results in my works really reflect on how much time I spend on it. Studying should also be the same. Perhaps dividing up the work would be a better method to study that would fit into my work and school schedule. Another lesson I learned was always communicate with you professor. They are there to help you. Furthermore, sitting near the front makes it easier to participate and ask questions in class.
If I can go back in time and change something, I think I would spend more time in the library than at home. I recently realized the satisfying feeling when one is being productive with time. If I did maybe I could of slept more and participate in other school related activities.
I’m did not change much since I started college. I see the world a little bit different from before. Anthropology and Philosophy works have open my mind to question what I had deemed as natural and fixed. In a way it helps me understand how the world functions. I guess what I’m trying to say it encourage me to be skeptical.
My goal for the next semester is the same as it was when I started college that is time management, the key to a successful college year/ social life. I want to feel healthy and free of stress. I want to enjoy what college has to offer and more, so I will strive for improvements until the day I graduate.
