My experience at Baruch college has not lived up to my expectations. there isnt a lot of time to chat and i greatly underestimated a commute school. The travel time makes getting to school a real pain and because everyone has to travel it is really hard to make close friends. most people either have to go to work right after classes or they have to head straight home. There is a wide variety of professors at Baruch, which was something i had expected, but what i didnt expect that not all of them are good at teaching. i guess some of them focus on their own research rather than teaching the class.

I think my first semester at Baruch could have went better. i was ill prepared for the amount of work that i got. when i first game to collegemy mindset was that few classes meant less work. it was soon after i started that i knew that i was completely wrong. The amount of work was more than high school just like they have told us but i had never really believed it. During my senior year at high school i had gotten to a relaxed mood and i felt like it carried over into college. i know i could have done better in this first semester if i tried.

If i could do my first semester over again i would definally try harder by doing the work ahead of time and using the help centers to improve the work quality. if i had not waited for the last second to do my papers i would have done a lot better.

i believe that i have become more responsible and become better at managing my time. back in high school i did all my work within the last 24 hrs before it was due. now i start to work on my papers days or even weeks in advance. hopefully these skills will help me do better in the future years to come.
