So far, Baruch College has exceeded my expectations. I honestly though I would have such a heavy workload that I wouldn’t have any social time, but Ive actually been able to balance my schoolwork and social life . I like the classes, and Im happy with all my teachers and classmates. i especially love the freedom of college, and being able to do whatever I please. I can just walk out of class easily and go get a cup of coffee and come back.
I think my first semester at Baruch went really well. I actually have been getting really good grades, and Im happy with how Im doing in school, and I think its motivation for next semester. Even though it took a lot of studying and getting used to, the adjustment was an overall pleasant experience.
The only thing I would have done differently my first semester would have probably been picking my schedule. Even though I wouldn’t of had a choice either way, the excruciating two and half hour break 2 days a week was really annoying. If I had to have done anything differently it would have been to have my classes with as little breaks as possible.
I think one way Ive changed ever since Ive started Baruch was definitely my maturity level. High School and College are so different. There two completely different ballparks, and I think the adjustment really made me mature and see myself as an adult. I was forced to have my own responsibilities and not rely on others. I think thats one of the benefits with college. You kind of discover yourself and learn to rely on no one else but yourself.
Overall my first semester was a great one, and I look forward to the many semesters I have left. Im really anticipating getting my degree and graduating as soon as I can.
