I entered Baruch having very little expectations. I knew it was going to be completely different than high school but i was in for a surprise. I knew it was different but i didn’t think it would be this different. The environment at Baruch seems very business orientated (hence it being a great business school LOL). I felt like everyone came to school than left and that’s it. As i started to get more involved i realized there was more to that. I have come to meet great people and i am hoping to stay close with them throughout college and even after. My experience at Baruch has been OK so far. I know that there is more for me to explore i just haven’t gotten there as of yet. It seems like high school times with the just going to class and going home. At first i didn’t like going to Baruch but its starting to rub off on me.

My first semester seems like i did ok. I was hoping to do better but who knows. If i could do it allagain only thing i would change is my study habits and probably attend more events. Now that the semester is almost over i have a better idea of what to expect next semester. I am hoping to change my bad habits of procrastinating but who knows we will see.

Definitely glad i joined an LC made it easier to meet people and it was a great bonding experience 🙂

LC 26 ROCKS!!!!!! LOL 😀

Well my monologue was alright i guess i could have given more eye contact but other than that i thought my monologue was decent. i liked the classes monologue in general they were pretty cool & down to earth :). So about that monologue yea it went good lol

A new beginning

Filled with mixed emotions

Happy that I’m finally in college

Scared that I don’t know what to expect

Surprised about how different this environment is

Excited because I can’t imagine how my college life is going to be like

All these things ran through my mind as I stepped into school on my first day

Felt like a small fish in a big pond

Everyone is rushing…where do I go?

First class 7^th floor

Great the elevators are packed…

Great the escalators aren’t working…

Up the stairs it is

Finally first class…starting to get anxious

Time passes & I start to adjust

No more walking up the stairs found my alternatives

Still scared…am I going to pass college

Still surprised…I am considered a grown up now

How BORING!

Everyone ask…How’s college?

I say it’s going just adjusting

Semester is almost over & I’m still adjusting

Can’t help but wonder…is this normal?

Still happy I was made some nice friends

Still scared about what’s going to happen next semester it’s going to feel like I’m starting all over

Hoping to make more friends

Hoping to become more involved

Feel like I have a million things to do and no time

But yet I’m still excited that I made it this far

Hey my name is Michelle I’m 17 years old & I am Dominican. At first I am a shy person but once i get to know you I stop being shy :). I am a realistic person. A lot of people confuse the fact that I am realistic and think that I am a pesimistic person and I am not. I can be real sweet but don’t think that you can push me over; I can also have a very strong attude. I am planning on becoming an accounting major but its just a thought. I don’t know where I am going to be in 10 years but I am excited for my journey to come.

I think like any freshmen I am concerned with the way things run. College is very different from high school. Teachers give you your assignments for the semester and thats it. They are not on top of you to get things done on time. If you hand it in great if not too bad. So I’m concerned about my time management. I am the biggest procastinator ever and I know that this can affect me a lot in school. Also the fact that everything depends on you. In college you have a bigger responsibility. It makes sense I guess since you are considered an “adult”. My last concern is that my “college life” will be boring. Being that Baruch is a commuter school most students just go to school and go home; theres not much of an involvement.

There are so many things that I think will make my experience at Baruch different then my high school experience. I think one thing that will make a big difference is the people that I will meet. I know I am going to learn a lot from my first year at Baruch. One thing im really hoping to get from my freshmen is time management because I think that with out that college will be one big struggle LOL hopefully not.

Well i hope you guys know a little more about me. I’m not really a blog person so bare with me 🙂
