every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end…

Almost 4 months later and the highly anticipated first college semester is complete. I can’t even believe how fast it all went. I remember the first few days like it was yesterday and it’s strange to see it all just fade away. My experience at Baruch shockingly has not been a terrible one. I’ve managed to make new friends, adjust to my long & tiring commute, and keep my grades up. I think at this point in time, Baruch has met my expectations as a college. It serves its purpose (an education) and for right now, I don’t think I’m looking for anything more than that.
I think your first college semester is something that you always remember because it’s what defines the rest of your college years. From your first semester, you build a foundation and work ethic that will remain throughout the rest of your college life. Grade wise, I did exceptionally well ( just have to wait for finals ), so I really have no complaints. In all honesty, I don’t think I would change anything about my first semester here at Baruch. Maybe if I had the opportunity, I would’ve given myself a day off, but other than that it has been a relatively smooth transition.
My first semester here at Baruch has impacted me in many ways. Before attending Baruch, I wasn’t able to walk up the block without getting lost. Now I can find my way almost anywhere in the city like it’s my job ! My first semester has allowed me to mature as well. I’m not so dependent on my family anymore. I also stay very on top of my work to make sure it gets done before its deadline. So in a way, I’m thankful for the experiences I’ve had in my first semester. I have become a more well-rounded individual. It’s something I’m definitely going to miss, but hopefully next semester will be just as good =)
