I suppose Baruch has lived up to my expectations. I honestly was not expecting too much when I came into the school. I knew it was a cuny commuter school and I was not waiting to join a sorority or live in a dorm or go to sporting events like a lot of my friends were looking forward to. All I expected from Baruch was to come to school do my work and go to my job in the city and come home. And that is exactly what I have done so far. Since I didn’t expect much from my college experience, it is kind of impossible for me to be let down.
My first semester has gone pretty decent. I made a lot more friends than i ever expected which I really enjoyed. School work wise, I definitely could have been more on top of myself. I honestly did not push myself at all and just got by doing decent work. My grades have not been bad but they could have been sooo much higher and I could have done a lot better. I also could have focused more in all of my classes because I always end up cramming to learn things on my own at home. If I would do anything differently about this semester it would be to stay focused starting from the first day of school. I would pay more attention in class and take more notes. I would also choose a schedule that did not have any class on friday!
I don’t think I have changed since I started Baruch, i just think there is a big difference in me from high school and now that I am in college. The way I act in school is very different now because I am no longer that social, I just go to class and go home which is very different than how I was in high school.
