A) My Baruch experience has actually lived up to my expectations. Coming into this school, I expected to be an average student passing all my classes and thats exactly what I got. Although I could have done better, Im more than satisfied with my results. For a freshman in college, I think I did all right. I also expected time to be my biggest enemy. Most of this semester was spent in class, work, or homework afterwards. There was little time for fun but I expected it.
B) My first semester was just well. It went as expected. I was able to adjust to college life without messing up and that’s great in my book. I didn’t encounter anything I couldn’t handle yet and I have nothing to worry about. Pre-Calculus is the only thing that may worry me but honestly if I study and put more effort, I should be fine.
C) If I could do it all again, I wouldnt. I don’t want to go through it again, I just want to keep moving. But one thing I could have done better was not procrastinating. I’m trying now by doing this days before it is due. I was able to complete all my assignments but many were at the last minute. Although it’s not easy, I have to get myself to focus more on my work rather than everything else.
D) I changed in that I have become more mature and independent. Unlike high school where I played around and classes was the last thing on my mind, I have become more aware of my education. Especially since I’m the one paying for it. School is not a joke to me anymore and I realized it’s time to start behaving like an adult. I’m taking responsibility for my own life.
