My experience at Baruch was great, I love everything about it. From the kids to the classes to my professors. It was it was just an overall a great experience. I feel like it did live up to my expectations, but I still have to finish my finals so it’s not over yet. I believe I did fairly well in my first semester even though it’s too early to tell. I did my homeworks and studied for my exams. Honestly if I had to do this first semester all over again I would sit in the front row of my classes and I’d probably participate a little bit more. Other than that I feel like I had a pretty successful first semester. It hasn’t been that long since I started at Baruch but I do feel like I’ve changed since the end of summer vacation coming into Baruch. Now im more alert more focused on college , and really I understand what it’s about and overall I feel like a more concentrated and well-rounded student.

When I was in 8^th grade I was this chubby kid who just struck puberty, and like all the boys my age I had one thing on my mind, girls. In my school there was this girl Katie. She was popular, very cute, going out with a senior, and most importantly a year older, which basically meant I had no chance. But you always want what you cant have and I was no exception, I wanted her. I went through my 8^th grade crushing on her, and she had no clue I existed. The summer before high school I started working out, lost a lot of weight, and came into 9^th grade a new man. High school was a new start for me, I was excited, and I did not forget about Katie. Slowly I started talking with the upper class and Katie as well, this was already a big step for me. Eventually I did what none of my friends thought I could do. Get with an older girl.  It was a glorious time, my first girlfriend was older and popular, and this in turn made me more popular. Every girl in high school was thinking about me, and everyone wanted to be my friend. But I was trying so hard to keep my relationship that I started acting too nice to Katie, honestly I had no other clue on how to act in a relationship. After we broke up I started to analyze myself, Katie, and what went on during the time her and me went out. I figured girls don’t want nice they get that on a day to day basis and its unordinary, so I started to act like a jerk, and it worked. At the time I was never more surprised in my life.  This was my first relationship, and it helped me learn a lot about how people work and how to work with people that I could’ve never learned on my own. This was all what seems to be a long time ago, and my opinion on relationships has changed and matured drastically since then, but nonetheless I would never be where I am today without this experience.
