This semester has been going pretty fast and I can’t believe I’m about half way through my freshman year. It’s definitely been fun and college is for the most part what I expected it to be, which is trying to fit social time and partying in between studying, work, and class.
I think my first semester went pretty well. I got to meet some cool people, and most of my professors were on point. I definitely got a feel for the workload that I can successfully handle, and the workload that is just overwhelming. I managed to keep most of my grades between Bs and As, and I’m really looking forward to next semester.
If I could redo this semester, I think I would have put more time and effort into my schoolwork. There were definitely a few things that I didn’t do too well simply because I wasn’t prepared. I also probably would have made more of an effort to meet more people. The learning community helped me make friends fast, but it would have been nice to meet a couple more people this semester.
I think I’ve become more independent since my start at Baruch. It’s to the point where I might as well have been dorming. I take it upon myself to balance my academic life with my social life and with the exception of some monetary support from my parents every now and then, I’m basically on my own. I also learned what my limits were, as far as managing time and partying goes. All in all, I think this was a productive semester that I enjoyed. I’m just waiting for that amazing break then I’m charging head on into next semester.
