Wow.. That Went Fast!

It’s crazy how time flies.  I remember walking in to Baruch on Convocation thinking wow college is gonna be crazy.  But now the first semester is almost over and I still can’t believe it.  My experience at Baruch so far has exceeded my expectations.  I’ve met so many new and interesting people that I can honestly say are my true friends.  I think my first semester at Baruch has gone really well, other than commuting to school everyday.  I’ve never taken the bus and subway before, coming from Long Island, but it really isn’t too bad, unless there’s a crazy delay.   Coming in to college, I didn’t think the workload would be so manageable, but this semester I was able to keep up with all of my work and stay on top of deadlines, and still have free time to myself.  Honestly, I wouldn’t do anything differently if I had the chance.  Even though there are days were I just don’t want to go to class, or I just feel like giving up, those are the days that make me stronger.  Those days help me power through the rest of the week and help me remember that those days don’t last.  I think that Baruch has changed me as a person.  In high school, I was the shy, quiet person who only at softball practice would I begin to come out of my shell.  Now, I’ve become so much more confident in myself, and I’ve become much more independent.  Even when I went back to my high school a month ago to visit, my teachers noticed a big difference from how I was in high school.  Overall, Baruch has been everything that I expected and more.  I so can’t wait to see what the next semester and my next 3 years hold for me.  LC 16 is amazing and I will never forget you guys. <3
