Freshman Seminar Motherblog, 2011

In our second session we went to a conference room in Baruch and were shown different majors and the career opportunities that they offered. Very fascinating and helpful in deciding on a possible major and career path choice.  I also went to the second part of this session later on.

Our first session was when we went over how much credits we were required to have in order to graduate, and we were given a checklist of all available topics and told how much each is worth and how to choose for minor/major. Not too helpful, I didn’t really understand at that time.

My experience so far at Baruch college. In typical me fashion has had several embarrassing moments that I will either think on later and laugh about or bury in the deep recesses of my mind never to be seen again. Because I’m just talented at self-deception like that. Baruch has totally lived up to my expectations about college down to the distracted einsteinesque professor. (I just wish he weren’t quite so smelly… that was a surprise.) I’m not in the least disappointed because the college experiance is different enough from highschool so that i don’t feel cheated out of a googolplex of money. (I decided to steal that word from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, which is becoming a movie CAN YOU BELEIVE THAT?? THE BOOOK WASN’T GOOD ENOUGH TO MOTION PICTUREIZE.. but I digress…)

My first semester at Baruch went as expected. I didn’t fail anything, people like me, I’m still an extremely weird person… which of course will put some people off of my idiosyncratic character but who needs those plebs anyway? My professors, the ones I bothered to speak with, all think I’m charming and intelligent but a lot too talkative which has been a problem with me since I started school.  I’m just a friendly person what can I say? I can’t wait for the new semester so that I can meet new people and expand my social circle because that’s always fun. If i could re-do this first semester over I think I would… unsay some embarrassing things that I have said but I’m Kind of glad I can’t because embarrassment is like … the salt in life.. it just brings all the other great flavors together.  You need it.. its necessary.

I can’t tell you if I have changed or not because I live a little too closely to myself to know all the minute changes that happen inside myself. It would be like looking under a microscope at a skin cell for several hours and then having someone ask you if the facial expression on the person whose skin cell this is has changed. It’s a pointless and self-defeating sort of thing. So that is all about me and that sort of thing… I’m almost sure this is the last time I will be blogging so lets end it dramatically shall we?

I am leaving.. never to return again.. don’t come after me, you must find it in your heart to let me go…

-Sincerely Ms A. Smith

My first semester at Baruch went by quickly. It wasn’t so bad. I even kind of made some friends. Haha. I thought it was going to be hard to adjust but it wasn’t. The work load wasn’t that bad either. What I really liked was that most of my professors didn’t give exams. It was mostly papers.  I really thought it was going to be more work but it felt like it was less work than high school. I feel the same. I don’t think I have changed much but maybe I will next semester. So far, I like Baruch.

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.
