I cannot complain too much about my first semester at Baruch. Besides dealing with the same CUNY bureaucracy I had to deal with over the whole summer, I have, for the most part, enjoyed my time. I was never supposed to be in an LC. I chose the schedule that looked the best to me, and I went with it. Aside from the fact that choosing Baruch was a mistake in and of itself, not paying close attention to the letters “LC” next to Block 13 when choosing our schedules was probably the best mistake I could ever make in Baruch. Ever.
Continuing, I am happy to have been part of an LC that has grown to become a tightly knit community. I never expected that we as a group would have done the stupid, crazy things that we have within the past 3 months. Hopefully we all can continue to keep close contact during the next semester and in the future, as we continue to do the very crazy and stupid things that we love.
I need to get something off my chest: I have no regrets for anything that I have said or done in this LC. My actions directly reflect the type of person that I am. When we were asked at the beginning of the semester to write down a brief description of who we were, I didn’t know what to write as an answer. I hoped that as time passed, everyone would be able to see who I was as a person and just accept me as such. Love me or hate me, I do respect everyone’s opinion about me, and hopefully its the same case vice-versa. But I lost respect and sympathy to people, who I properly treat as equals, who claim to be part of a “majority” that believes what they say or think means more than what I have to say in a group. This is a complete sign of disrespect that I do NOT take from anyone who is an equal or below me, and I do NOT forgive such incidents.
Aside from all of this, I still want to be part of this LC now and when the semester ends. After all, my name is on the roster, and I have too many memories with everyone to just simply disregard anyone for any reason.
