Eh I can’t really say if Baruch has lived up to my expectations since I really didn’t have expectations, but this semester hasn’t been too horrible. I guess I always wish new experiences could have turned out to be more climactic or at least a little bit unusual.
All in all my first semester went along quite smoothly, but I probably shouldn’t announce that so confidently just yet since finals are fast approaching. Yikes… But I’m definitely going to work harder and try to finish out the semester with a bang and hopefully a 3.5 gpa.
I guess if I could redo this semester there would be a few things I’d change. Seriously, who wouldn’t take the oppourtunity to fix their mistakes? I wish I’d been even more proactive and taken the initiative in a lot of the things I did, whether it was classes or looking for extra help. It was practically a culture shock when I started college and no one was there to hold my hand or guide me. Instead, I felt completely alone and as if nobody cared about me in this school. I’ll be asking for help a lot more throughout the rest of this year now and even though I lost some enthusiasm, I’ve gained some practical knowledge.
Just when I thought I couldn’t get any more cynical and pessimistic, Baruch proved me wrong! That’s the biggest change I feel has taken place since I’ve arrived at Baru ch and started living in the city. I’m tougher, angrier, more realistic, and hate life just a tad bit more.
