Starting out at Baruch, initially didn’t phase me at all. It just seemed like, oh its Baruch, whatever no big deal. As we got deeper and deeper into the semester i found that i liked it more and more. Meeting new people and learning new things each day is a nice change of pace from high school.

My first college semester ever was — a unique experience. Coming in I literally had no idea of what to expect. But after each class and each day I began to adjust more and more, which resulted in me ultimately being comfortable with my surroundings. Academically speaking, not knowing my grades at the moment, id say i definitely could have done better. i 100% could have tried harder and put more time into studying and other assignments. Having said that, I still feel i tried hard and should come out of the semester doing just fine. 

If I could do it all again from the beginning, I would go back and make sure to do better in pre-calc. Not too satisfied with a C. Other than that, theres not much that i would go back and change. Oh yeah – theres also the Friday class thing which is something i don’t think i would ever ever do again.

How do i think i have changed? Idk. I don’t feel like I’ve experienced much change since starting. Id like to say that I’ve grown much more mature and responsible but id just be lying. Don’t feel any different, and i don’t act any different so id have to say that i don’t believe I’m any different of a person.

After around a month at Baruch I’m learning new things about myself everyday. I didn’t actually think I’d adjust as well as I did. I gotta say, aside from one or two classes its not bad at all. Theres just one thing thats constantly in the back of my mind; if i don’t do well on a test or a paper i feel like it will prevent me from ever getting an A in that class and doing well overall. Oh ya and then theres math, but lets not talk about that.

Coming into the school year I really didn’t think I’d have as much fun as I do. Im happy I met some nice cool kids to chill with.

For next semester there are two things I’d really like to make sure I change from this semester. First and the main one is making sure that I do not have class on fridays, didn’t realize how awesome it was to have the week over with on thursday. And secondly which is not a main priority would be to adjust my schedule so that I finish the day a little later but wake up a little later.
