My first semester at Baruch College was an experience I will never forget. I feel Baruch College definitely met my expectations. It was a new experience living in the city and being on my own. I enjoyed my classes and felt that I had a smooth transition from high school. I feel I did well for my first semester considering I had a lot going on in my personal life and being in a new environment. If I could do anything differently this past semester I would probably have studied more. I did my work just to get by and pass. Next semester I will be changing my study habits and push myself harder because I feel that I am now comfortable with my new life style as a college student. My first semester at Baruch College has definitely changed me as a person and as a student. I feel I have complete understanding of my responsibilities and I have matured.

My name is Laura Cheek. I am an creative individual and at this time of my life I am exploring myself, trying to figure out my purpose here in this life. I always say live life to it’s fullest. People often toss this phrase around however no one utilizes it and applies it in their every day life. I feel like is too short so live every day as it’s your last. I love to laugh and make people happy. I enjoy making people smile; especially my family. My parents are my heros and my two sisters are my best friends.I love them more than myself. I have wonderful friends and acquaintances around me that I would give anything just to sit, talk, and be with at any given time of day. I have recently moved to Manhattan which was a big change for me. Not being in my own house with my family, and being able to drive to meet up with friends whenever I wanted made me feel a little lonely for my first few days on my own. My new friends at Baruch made me feel comfortable and made the transition a lot smoother. I love the city life, however I’m skeptical about the next four years of all this homework :/ I know I need to go to school in order to get an amazing degree and make loads of money in order to peruse my goals such as traveling to every country, and buying property in all the countries my ancestors once lived. Peace and love.

well I couldn’t exactlly tell you who I am all in one blog but here’s a start. My name is Laura Cheek I’m 18 years old and I am a freshmen at Baruch college. I’m a spontaneous, intelligent, funny, unique, creative, and determined person. A few concerns I have about my freshman year at Baruch are passing my classes, managing my new freedoms, and waking up on my own for classes. So far my experience from high school vs. Baruch differs because of my new schedule, change from teachers to professors, and living in the city as compared to Long Island. I feel my first year at college will change me for the better. I feel it will mature me and mold me into being an independent person who will be super successful in the future.
