Although this semester has gone by really fast, I feel like a lot has changed. I learned so much from time management to making new friends. I remember the day before Freshmen Convocation, I was really worried that I would not make any friends. I mean, the last time I had to make new friends was…kindergarten. The people I became friends with back then were my friends throughout the rest of elementary school, middle school, and high school. I remember my friends back in high school reassuring me that everyone else there would be new students as well and that making friends would definitely not be a problem for me. Fortunately, they were right. I made amazing friends here at Baruch-and it’s only been the first semester!
Time management has become so important in my life. Knowing how to prioritize my homework and projects while volunteering on the side has been an everyday thing now. I’m grateful though because it helps me sharpen my responsibility and organizational skills even further. Time management is extremely important because tasks that must be completed eventually have to become completed, it’s just knowing how and when to do it matters.
I’m actually not disappointed with my first semester here at Baruch. I was a bit regretful that I did not choose a school with a real campus feeling to it but turns out having the city as your campus is even better! I love the city, growing up in Long Island was a bit suffocating so having the urban feeling is actually refreshing. I especially love how you can get anywhere in the city just by hopping onto a train.
Overall, I had fun this semester and learned a lot, can’t wait for the next!
