My First Semester at Baruch.

I can’t believe I am practically done with my first semester at Baruch College!  It is so surreal to think that I am half way through my freshman year of college.  In the beginning of the semester I was scared and didn’t know whether or not I would make many friends.  I also was uneasy about having the same people in a lot of my classes.  I was afraid I would be too quiet and not outgoing enough.  Luckily for me, it was easy to meet people and the people I have met in my block have been amazing.  I never expected to form such good relationships, especially at a predominately commuter school!  It will be bittersweet as this semester ends, but I know that I have made friendships that will last.  Even though I would like to say I’ve had no regrets looking back, but unfortunately I do.  Academically I feel as if i could’ve taken my work more seriously.  Although at times I felt overwhelmed with my new environment I sometimes became lax and procrastinated certain assignments.  I wish I would’ve been more diligent with homework, because now I am struggling to make some of them up.  Next semester I will try to procrastinate less and stay on top of my work.  Especially because next semester my softball season starts and time management will be crucial.  I’m proud of myself though.  Even though I started of shaky i feel as if I am finishing this semester strongly and hope to carry it over to my second semester.  As a whole, I can look back on my first semester at Baruch and feel content.  New experiences can be hard to adjust to but they are also what made my first semester of college so excited.  Based on how fast this first semester has went, I have learned that I must enjoy and take advantage of everyday I have in college.
