Baruch College has somewhat lived up to my expectations. I knew that I was going to have to work a whole lot harder than how I did in high school. It stressed me out. I’ve got to meet new friends and communicate with them. I didn’t get to join a club or anything yet, but I plan on joining one later in the school year. My first semester I felt like it was really hard on me because I really never done so much work compared to high school. It was a real pain to wake up so early in the morning to go to class and attempt to stay awake. If I could redo my first semester, I for sure would try to stop procrastinating and cramming everything together, this way it’d be easier on me. I would’ve tried to join a club and get more involved. Since I started Baruch College, I felt like I have changed my sleeping pattern because I do things so late and that I didn’t have as much time as I thought I would.

I had to get up really early for the breast cancer walk when I realized I could have still made it if I got up 1 hour later. It was a cold morning, so I wore a lot. While arriving there, I saw Alex Tong and he helped me find the rest of the group. I had a good time at the walk cheering for tons of people. I got many high fives, but I was sick that day. By the end of the walk, I lost my voice, got myself a free pink bandanna, volunteer shirt, and an empty stomach.

I am an asian who just turned eighteen recently. I lived in Coney Island within Brooklyn my whole life. I play the role as the eldest son and older brother. I attended P.S. 212, Cavallaro, and John Dewey High School. I only have one brother that everyone says looks exactly like me, but I don’t really see it. My family would be the most important people to be, simply because they have always been there for me in my whole life and hasn’t let me down. Yet. What makes me happy, is seeing other people happy. It brings a joy to my heart. I am afraid of the devil and other paranormal stuff. I like to play handball basketball and soccer although I might not be so great at it. I currently attend Baruch College. I’m glad I got into this school and I’m enjoying it so far. Baruch College, however is the most challenging school I’ve ever went through so far. I actually felt like I wasn’t prepared for college at all. My biggest challenge in college would be English class. I was never good at English to begin with. The one thing I enjoy most about college would be the amazing Library they have. I can spend my whole day there.

Hello, My name is Daniel Li. I am seventeen years old and born in Manhattan, however, I lived in Brooklyn my whole life.  I attended John Dewey for High school and now I am in Baruch with a surprise. My top three concerns about my freshman year in Baruch are keeping up to my school work, making friends, and finding a job or internship. The work in college is definitely much more challenging than High School. I am trying to get more organized now to manage time for everything. So far, I think the amount of homework and time I’ll have to put into studying will definitely be different from my high school experience. I also think the experience in Baruch’s wonderful library to study, do homework, go online, or even nap, would be a wonderful new experience. During my first year of college, I think it’ll make me work much harder, feel older, and interact with others much more.
