Freshman Year

My first semester at Baruch was really fun. I didn’t have such high expectations. I was looking forward to meeting new people, but i knew there would be a lot of work that had to be done. I feel like I really got into that Baruch school spirit. I really started feeling like I was part of a bigger picture. I started realizing that its not just me, I don’t have to do everything by myself. There are a lot of people that are here to help you. I go to the Hillel at Baruch very often and I made some very close friends there. I am very happy to be a part of Baruch.
There are very few things I would do differently. One thing is I would try to get an apartment, I commute to school and it takes up about 2 hours everyday. I feel like if I was able to stay in the city I would be able to get so much more done. Another thing I would do differently is probably hanging out with my Baruch friends more. Even though I got very close to some people at Baruch, I feel like I could still get so much closer to them.
When i came to Baruch, my expectations were to just go to school, do well and start working. Now, I’m looking at it a little differently. There really isn’t much to rush into, I still have a lot of time to go. I feel like Baruch has made me realize the importance of good grades. There are a lot of smart people here and it makes the competition level that much higher, and it makes me want to produce better results. I feel like i made the right decision coming to Baruch. I hope that I can continue to grow and become a better person. Hopefully with help from Baruch, I can be very successful and find the job that I have always been looking for.
