So basically this freshmen seminar blog post was not the first thing on my mind right now but it has to be done and believe me I am not thrilled about doing this when my first final is a short week away but here it goes anyway.
Baruch has been a learning experience for me. I learned many new things from subject classes that I never dreamed I would be taking in college. The blocks that we picked over the summer have had their positives and negatives. One positive is that they have made meeting new friends way easier since you see a lot of the same faces in your classes. A negative would be how you are forced to take classes that you normally would not have chosen to study. Has Baruch been a “home away from home,” no but I could see myself being in a worse situation so I do not take this education for granted. The most important thing I have learned would have to be what the everyday grind of commuting in and out of the city feels like. It is certainly very exhausting and takes a lot of time along with energy but hopefully it is something that I can get used to.
My first semester here at Baruch College has been a success in my eyes. My grades are where they should be and that’s the most important thing. I have met some great new friends that have really helped me get through my first semester.
I would not do anything differently. Live with no regrets.
When I started here at Baruch I was not as independent as I am now. I now have more responsibilities and am doing things on my own. I have also grown into a more mature man thanks to Baruch.
Since this is my last assignment related to freshmen seminar I just wanted to thank everyone and wish you all good luck in the future.
