As first semester of college comes to a close, I can’t help to be amazed at how quickly these few months have flown by. I don’t know if it was the newness of the college experience or not having classes 5 days a week, but I really did enjoy my first semester at Baruch. For the most part, my experience at Baruch has lived up to my expectations. I’ve made some great friends, been swamped with work, and wanted to pull my hair out at times. But to me, those things together are what I expected out of Baruch. I knew that college wouldn’t always be easy, and there would be times I wanted to give up. But I know that the constant struggle and challenges are preparing me for my future endeavors, so quitting is never an option.
In terms of the work, I think that my first semester was pretty successful. My grades were on par with what I expect for myself, and I surprisingly haven’t slacked off (that much). However, I do wish to change some things about myself next semester. I found that I procrastinated WAY too much this time around, and I want to make a conscious effort to do everything efficiently and on time.
In terms of changes, I don’t think that I’ve changed too much these past few months. The one thing about me that has changed is that I’m more outgoing when it comes to talking to people. I came into college with the mindset of being a friendly person, and I think that that attitude has allowed me to make some great friends and potential friends. All in all, first semester at Baruch has definitely made me look forward to the next semester.
Anyway, here’s hoping for a good end of the semester. Good luck to all of you, and see you around 🙂
