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.

Oh Baruch… where do i begin? you started off quite terrible might i say. but you ended up being pretty good. i mean the teachers may need help, the work load is rather heavy, but i’ve had fun. i made some really cool new friends. and without them i probably would hate baruch truthfully. i wish my grades were higher, i wish my schedule wasnt so weird, and i wish that the people i met in college from my LC will stay with me through out college. if i could re-do my first semester i def would try harder, study more and what not but at the same time i feel like this was going to happen. its a new environment, new teachers, etc i have to get used to things and how they teach. my grades may not be amazing but im hoping for atleast a B. >.< have i changed since baruch started? i actually think i’ve matured. i may still find kinky jokes funny but who doesnt? but mentally ive grown, being able to understand more and realize whats around me. whats oustide of staten island. not saying ive never been to the city and what not, but not everyone is as bad as staten island people are lOL.

today i was talking to some people from our LC. and when they told me they all wanted to transfer it made me so sad. to know this bond that ive made with them is about to be broken. yeah we can keep in touch. but we just started. /: and whats worse is that i know if they leave im stuck in this poop hole by myself! i dont want you guys to go! you know who you guys are ]: you guys are completely amazing and without you guys i would hate to come to school. i love our random food days, i love tuesday and wednesdays when we work out at the gym together, i love allllll our conversations we’ve ever had. we never had like one dull day. our convos are something im gonna always remember. we would laugh till our stomachs would hurt and to the point we cant breathe.

this is making me sad writing this. oh baruch.

youve done me well kind of… hahaha.

LC26. WE’RE THE BEST LC EVER<3 😀

sooo i was pretty nervous to present and i was definitely not one to raise my hand and volunteer that day . However , i think it went smoottthhh :] i enjoyed reading my corny rhymes to my peers as well was listening to theirs. I guess its because i could relate to what they were saying , the ridiculous amount of reading that has to be done , not knowing the due dates for anything , not wanting to let other down, and the all time childhood memory of crushing on the cutest boy in the next grade lol .
