Welcome to Baruch! Most people in Baruch are amiable and helpful. I make friends in Baruch. Baruch as I thought has many activities and classes. I can experience club and different courses in this school. One thing that I like about college is most of the time is controlled by students. No one really cares what you do in school and if you are be on time or not. On the other hand, I like our school’s library because it offers computers, printers, fax machines and many staffs for in-school students. So it is very convenient for us to do our projects and work in library. It also provides study room for students to gather and prepare for their tests.

 I think my first semester is so far so good. Compared to high school’s schedule, college is freer than high school. There are 5 classes in this semester. They are long per period but we gain many lessons from long period classes. Sometimes I could be bored in class. But I still try to focus on it. I don’t like to read and many classes that I take need us to read books and literature. In fact, I understand that reading can make people become wiser and calmer. So I have to adopt and make this habit.

 If I could go back to the first semester, I could encourage myself to read more and study more. I should stay out in library a little bit longer to study and read. I should visit more the writing center since my weakness is the essay. I should practice more with my grammar and essay structure so that I could improve my essay.

I changed a lot in many ways since I started Baruch College. I start to get to learn how to use school facilities such like library and writing center. I become more active to something that I need to know and ask people questions about my study. I think I can be a professional in Baruch and my future career in later of my life.

Hi, everyone.  This is JiaLi. English name is Teresa.  I have been in New York with my parents  around 4 years. I studied in High School for Dual Language and Asian Studies for my past 4 years.  I am hard-working and I like to learn new things. I have learn instruments such like guitar and harmonica. But I am barely play those now. I will play them if I have time. I like sport. But I don’t exercise regularly. Indeed, I like playing tennis with my friends. We used to play in tennis court until 9 o’clock at night. It was good.

Even though I am 4 years immigrant, I make friends in in this new place. I really appreciate every of my friends. They make my life become more meaningful. Obviously, friend is important to me. I cant laugh out loud if I don’t have friends who cheer me up. They give my energy. Every time I feel stressful, they just solve my problem and comfort me. Recently, I have some problems with one of my dear friends. I made her unhappy and upset. I know it takes time to reduce the pain that I cause to her. I hope that our relationship wont change until forever.  I am so afraid  of friends would leave me alone. If they don’t care me, I can’t work normally in my life. I like friends gathering around. the power of friendship can defend every obstacles in my life. I love my friends.

Since I need to go to school on Monday through Thursday and work on Friday and Saturday, I like to stay at home on Sunday and work on what I need to do from classes. I enjoy spend time at home by myself. I like to keep myself rich inside which make myself to  learn new things everyday.  I don’t like to be a foolish person who waste time on doing nothing.  So I stay at home to study and sometimes use my computer for entertainment. What about you? Do you enjoy your weekend?

I think i am a nice person who is willing to help people and like to learn new things.  I  am always amiable to people and so most of people do to me. And I like to challenge everything that are fresh to me.  On the other hand, I have concern on some of my classes. Sometimes there are so much readings and I can not absorb things clearly in the context. Too much reading makes me feel like I dont want to do it. Besides, I am concern of what I can do after I finish college. Should I continue to study or work!? More and more,  I am afraid my English level  is not good enough to adapt me to live in this society. Because I am a 4 years immigrant in New York.  In Baruch, we can freely go to anywhere and do whatever without restriction. We have more time for the break and we can use cell-phone outside the class in school. In first year of the school, I can make friends that I newly meet in Baruch and have my new life in here. I am looking forward to my College Life!
