It’s so strange trying to transition from having the same classes all year to having classes for one semester; everything seems to be going by so fast.
My first semester at Baruch definitely did not live up to my expectations. I thought the environment would be different but I realized, it’s just like high school! The only difference is people are always on the go and are busy studying for something. I should have been more realistic since this is a commuter school of course.
The studying and workload is what I expected though; I have to work on my studying technique because I don’t want to mess up in any class just because I procrastinated or was lazy, luckily this did not happen to me this semester. The one thing I would do over again is to study a lot more! Although I don’t know the grades I received, I always expect the worst and I think I did really bad! I would try a lot harder and aim for like a 4.0!
After the first semester, I feel like a new person. Maybe it’s because reality hit me in the face and I realized that there’s a whole life out there after school ends, and maybe it’s because I’m 18 now and it’s natural to become worried and anxious about the future. Whatever the case, this semester help become more responsible, serious, and mature, but I still enjoy joking around every now and then.
