My experience at Baruch College is definitely exactly what I thought it would be- I’m constantly stressed, I literally feel like there’s some kind of school work I could be doing ALL THE TIME. But I wouldn’t change it for anything. I’m also really happy most of the time too. It’s the kind of stress that I know I can get past. With some hard work, it’ll be over soon. It also REALLY helps to know that we only have a few more weeks left until we have an entire month off. Overall, I think my first semester went pretty well. The transition into college wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, and nowhere near as bad as the transition that some of my friends are having. I’m doing pretty well in most of my classes, I’m in a club in school, and I don’t feel weird walking around the halls anymore. If I could go back and do anything differently during my first semester, I don’t think I would. I’m happy with the friends I have and the dorm I’m in. As much as I love college, I definitely think I’ve changed. I’m not sure how I feel about it, because friends from back home, who I used to love spending time with, it just feels so weird now. There’s a mountain of difference between us, and at first, I thought it was them who changed, but I’ve recently realized that it’s me. I’ve grown up, I’ve matured, and I feel like they’ve (literally and metaphorically) stayed in the same place.
