Post #3- the experience at Baruch College
by luyao.zheng
I feel the time is passed so quickly. The fall 2010 almost ends. I always think that this semester just begins and I am still “new” for this college. I don’t realize that this semester almost is over and the final exams are coming soon.
The student life in college is not that hard and not that easy. When I entered Baruch College, I want to get A in every course and try to work hard for it. But after I taking midterm exam, I feel it is impossible to get A in every course. The reason is actually I I am not very interesting at some courses and don’t work that hard for studying. I just waste all of my time on some non-sense stuff and I don’t really know what I did. And during class time, sometimes I just think something else and didn’t pay attention to professors. Sometimes I do pay attention, but I don’t know what the professors are talking about, especially in POL. I felt upset and I feel that I am so stupid. But right now, I feel better, because I think if I work hard and prepare for the final exam as well as I can, at least I can get B. So right now I just encourage myself and prepare the final exam earlier.
I think if I can do my first semester again, I will do better. I will not waste my time again and I will work harder for my class. If I can rate my first semester, the rate will be 2 out of 5. But if I can do it again and rate it, I think it at least will be 4 out of 5. I really need to take a class for time managing and paying attention to class.
Actually I have changed since I started at Baruch College. First I feel there are so many assignments need to be done, and I never feel there are any works in high school. Second I feel busy and nervous in college. There is no marking periods in college at all. Every single test needs to get a great grade otherwise there is no making up stuff for replacing the grade. So I feel nervous.
In the first semester in Baruch College, I feel happy even though the life of college is so busy and nervous. I know new friends and I learn some new things which are totally different from high school. And Baruch College brings me different experience from any periods of my life.
