The last post, kind of strange but Baruch hasn’t fulfilled my needs, but that’s because I don’t know what my needs are. These next few years the the ones that count the most and I have no idea how to approach them. The easiest thing that I could do is, do it. Get it over with, enjoy it for what it is. It doesn’t have to be like American Pie, because it isn’t going to be but it’s college. I’ll admit, I had high expectations for college in general and I had low expectations for Baruch because I’ve lived in the city my whole life and I know how it was going to be. It’s exceeded my expectations in terms of work load, socially, no. But I’m sure as time goes on, so will everything else. This first semester I think I did well not as good as high school because the grading is harder but, this is the beginning.

If I could do it over again, I would definitely not procrastinate and study for the exams because overall, I haven’t been.

As a person, haven’t changed significantly, but I’m starting to see the path I want to take. I know what I have to do, just not sure how to do it yet. Thanks Clemente and LC. Back to you!

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 😀

I would say that Baruch has lived up to my expectations in the class room. The teachers (for the most part) have been accommodating, accepting, and sensitive to all issues, and have been gre conveying at at the topics so that i could understand them. On the other hand, the social life outside of baruch has been sub par. It definatly feels like high school with harder classes, and more work, but less fun. I hope this is just freshman trouble and it improves soon!

Thanks for a great freshman seminar Clemente!

So this is my last blog post….here goes nothing

So baruch college feels a lot like high school, with a few changes. I like how I’m not always half asleep now because of my later schedule compared to high school. I actually find that college is easier than high school. With all these breaks and free time, i actually found time to study. Since i am typing this in clemente’s class and people are yelling law jargon left and right, I cannot think of anything else to type onto this blog. Goodbye blogs@baruch

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 .

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

omgomgomgoshhh so late, I spilled water over my laptop so my keyboard doesn’t really work D:!! ehhh & then i totally forgot! So anyways, well I didn’t expect myself to have a super duper awesome monologue, cause I mean talking to myself in front of a bunch of people just seemed weird and I’m never really good at presenting stuff, nor do I like it either!! As I sat and listened to everyone’s monologues, I realized that they were all either meaningful or funny, and mine was extremely boring! So as I sat there I crossed out like an entire paragraph, and randomly added stuff!! I was as nervous since we got to sit on a chair while presenting! So I got up there, sat down on that comfy chair, and began talking gibberish. The presentation of the monologue was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be since we all pretty much know each other in the class now, it’s just not as awkward and nerve racking (if its spelled of phrased like that..). I enjoyed listening to the monologues by my fellow classmates, and did no completely freak out over mine either!

so im in class right now where i really should be learning. whats all this nonsense with derivatives, chain rules, and “important” stuff like that. gosh i hate being back in precalc. i took precalc my junior year and did quite amazing i might add. im asian math and me just go together. but as soon as i came to baruch, math no longer made sense. NO. the stuff is NOT HARD AT ALL truthfully. but i dont remember it. it was so long ago. but on top of that what makes it worse is that they way its being taught makes no sense truthfully. i have to look back on my old highschool notes to understand everything. that goodness for susan e wagners awesome math teachers. how is it that i took ap calc my senior year and im back in pre calc. stupid cuny assessment test. you dont prove anything. -.- i should be in regular calc not precalc. whats the point of taking ap calc if i dont even get put into calc again or something but being demoted to something lower. okay okay i understand i got a 1 on my test but SERIOUSLY -.- this is me ranting and actually entertaining me from my boredom in class. and minnie is sitting next to me and she was laughing cause im doing this.

i really like money. so im going to post randomly about interesting things hopefully? maybe everytime i see something interesting? or every class i have? lol

something smells good in this class. its like food being cooked or something. i wonder if baruch has any culinary courses that’d be awesome. my dream job is to be a food critic<3 i should’ve signed up for culinary school i love to cook and i love food.

oh college life. you’re not living up to your expectations.
