My first semester in Baruch College is almost over and the only thing left is to review for finals. Throughout the first semester, the biggest challenge is to overcome my laziness. Whenever my teacher have assigned some long readings or asked me to write some paper, my laziness would always say to me “you still have tomorrow to finish them”. Although I have eventually finished most of the works on time, each day I went to bed later and later. It makes me realize that time management is so important in College and laziness must be changed. Otherwise I won’t be able to have any free time to spend with my friends. In September I was expecting to speak up in class and to make more foreign friends; now I’m working on it. I believe that in order to get more friends other than Chinese, I have to get use to speak English with my parents and even with my Chinese friends. The fact is that I haven’t done my best in the first semester. If I could retake this semester, I believe I would have done things differently with a better attitude. Now finals are coming and what I should is to study really hard and to avoid getting lazy again. After this semester I have realized what it means to be a college student, and I look forward to my next semester and hope to make improvements everyday.
