Entering college you of course have some expectations but i was mostly complacent about what to expect. I sort of developed my idea of what i wanted out of baruch while i was here instead of before. I’d say it was the first time i really put thought into what i plan on doing with the rest of my life. To be honest im still figuring it out. I’d like to think that this semester was an introduction and now that i have become more familiar with baruch i can make the most of what it can offer. If anything baruch will be a stepping stone as i transition into my adult life.
Frankly, my first semester sucked. I really wish i started off better. I would have expected some more competant teachers but perhaps they just didnt sync well with me. Dropping a course is not something i would like to explain to anyone especially math at baruch. its kind of embarassing. If anything positive came out of this first semester it’s that im going to push myself hard next semester to make sure that i never have to experience the humiliation of dropping a course again. This is the first and last time.
Everything. I know its simple but thats honestly the best answer to that question. I would manage my money better, studied math harder every possible thing i could have done for a happier end of semester. Not that im not happy now but i have too many regrets and having regrets about anything sux. But in retrospect if you aways know you could have done better after everything is done. Im not quite sure everyone is entirely satisfied the first time you do something. So really the one thing i would have changed is the fact that i dropped a course. That would have made my 1st semester golden but you live and you learn i guess.
Im not quite sure if i changed at all since arriving here. You’d have to ask someone that knows me since my high school days. i do think that i have a healthier perpective on the value of studying but i need to actually implement this new way of thinking in my school work. Im not quite sure i wanted to change since coming to college. I just wanted to do great work to make up for all wrong things i did in high school. I dont think i have gotten far in this goal but i do think ive made the first couple steps.
And so i (hopefully) lived happily ever after. . . . . .
THE END
Special thanks to ari and ben for being our punching bags 🙂
