Now that the first semester at Baruch is almost over, I can say that it was though, but it also went by very fast. Not knowing what its gonna be like to be in college was a bit scary at first, but then you eventually adapt quickly and the sleepless nights, the tons of material to read, the exams and the endless amount of assignments, all that almost becomes normal. Even though it feels as if there are not enough hours in a day, not enough days in a week or not enough weeks in a month anymore, you will be able to manage, sometimes not knowing how to, but you will manage. I can say that I enjoy going to college, because it is something that I am doing for myself, something that I want to do and have chosen to do. The matter of fact is that I have now a totally different point of view then I would have had a couple of years ago, which makes me realize how beneficial on one side and how unnecessary on the other side certain things or situations appear. A good experience is that I met lots of really nice and interesting people during my time here at Baruch. People from all over the world who come to study in one of the most multi cultural cities in the world and everyone of them has an amazing and unique life story to tell. Now that I am looking back at the last three months, I honestly don’t think I would do much different. Accept the fact that I tend to put the difficult thing towards last minute, which is kind of bad, but I think almost everybody does it. It’s hard sometimes to get into a routine of doing complex things first and easy things last. Now with the day of registration for classes coming up, I am actually looking forward to the next semester, because we are now at the point where we can make our own schedule. The freedom of doing so will give me the opportunity to make the whole combination of working full time and attending college work for me. I also don’t think that I have changed, all I can say is that my life has changed in every aspect. In regards to my private life, school or work, its not the same and it won’t be the same ever again. I am looking at a very busy and adventurous time ahead of me, involving lots of studying, working and traveling. Even though there were times when I hardly got any sleep, I still enjoyed it very much and I think if you are willing to put in the extra effort, it will definitely make a big difference and pay out. In the end it will all be worth it. 🙂
