Baruch so Far Mono

My name is David Wong and like everyone here a student of Baruch College. The first semester is almost over and us freshmen are going to finally have a chance to choose our own classes for the second semester. My baruch experience so far has been quite neutral. It hasn’t exceeded my expectations but it also hasn’t gone under. There are many factors that play into this. i have some troubles with teachers and the work but more importantly managing my time which is very crucial as a baruch college student. My first semester so far could had been better. I unfortunately ended up dropping math pre-calc i was really disappointed in myself. I guess i didn’t work hard enough but i also partial think it was the teacher’s fault as well cause i know that over one-third of the class dropped including myself. If i could do the first semester over again i would try to focus more on pre-calc maybe even take tutoring ahead of time, even see if i can change prof but i doubt that. I would also redo history differently. I love history, its very interesting to me but for some reason on both my essay and midterm essay they brought my grade down by at least one letter i didn’t think that was possible. I was quite convinced that my essay would be able to at least meet the standard but a few problems here and there brought it way down but not good enough to fail just yet. All in all i think the first semester was very interesting and i learned a lot from it. Some situations was more trouble than it was worth but i will figure it out and do better hopefully. Since i started Baruch College till now i was constantly worried about whether i would fit in or not. But I remember that I am surrounded by other freshmen like me, my peers. This makes me feel like i can connect with them and reminds me that its not just me that is a baruch freshmen and that i can do this just like they can. So far I believe I gained a little more confidence in college and learned a little about how the system works, but of course there is always something to learn and i will continue to do so along with my fellow freshmen. This concludes my last blog post for FRO. Have a happy and fun thanksgiving everyone. Thank you.
