It was kind of interesting to for me to listen people’s monologues because sometimes these monologue could really reflect what I had experience or was experiencing. However, things turned bore later. The reason was that its length was a little long for me.

This thursday I went to a workshop, which was about teaching freshmen how to pick their courses properly for next semester. I noticed that choosing a course in college shouldn’t just pick from your interest view, but also have to recognize its use. I mean, every course you choose should tie with what major you want to put yourself in future, so you won’t be worrying about insufficiency of credit for graduation. Also, I learned that freshmen are competing with each other over space of class. At last, most of high-level courses have its own prerequisite, as a result, I really think we should be prudent at what course we pick for spring semester schedule.

Last Thursday, I went to work shop. I start to realize the importance of managing money. Before, I think being a college student doesn’t have to worry about that until a data comes to my mind. The average credit card debt for a graduated college student is $41000 and often with 16% of high interest rate. I was shock when I first heard from the speaker. From now, I have to be aware of getting a credit card, because I don’t want to be a member of them. Maybe I should start to take advise from speaker, which is using money wisely before getting a stable job.

Hi， my name is Xianqi， and I am from the mainland of China. I think the word described me the most should be “Lazy”, because I always start my assignment at the last second. Personally, I think procrastination would be my biggest issue in Baruch college.

Now, being a college student, I begin to have concerns that need to be solved. First one is the procrastination which I already mentioned before. Second concern is learning how to study on our own instead counting on our professors. Last, like everyone else, I have problem with how to transform myself into a proper college student.

So far, I think Baruch college is a great college just like what I heard from my friends. The thing Baruch impresses me the most is the educational tools provided by school to increase efficiency of learning like computers, textbooks, and calculators. And I really appreciate Baruch for doing so.
