College Experience

I think my experience at Baruch College has not lived up to my expectations in some aspects. As the first semester at college, it is quite different from the high school. I am excited for being a college student; it is an unknown journey, and a fresh experience; and it may be a turning point of my life. But after the excitement is over, the troubles come out. The college is more laborious than high school, and I have more pressure with the course. Before attending college, I think college would be freer, but it takes me a lots time doing the reading and writing my paper. I don’t think I do best at my first semester at college.

In some way, my experience at Baruch College has lived up to my expectations. I think the college life will give me more possibilities of my future. After my first semester at Baruch College, I have some new friends, and my ability is improved; it makes me feel a sense of accomplishment. For example, my vocabulary is widened by reading every day. And my reading ability is also improved. But I think it is not enough, there is no end to progress. I still need to work harder at college.

If I could do the first semester all again, I think I would be more industrious. And I would be more optimistic. There is a will, there is a way. I don’t think I try my best for the work. I think if I could do my best, I would be better for my work and make more progress. At this semester, sometimes I would feel idle, during those period, I don’t want to do the reading and homework, I just want to sleep or watch movie at home. I think I should avoid this kind of feeling, so that I could be more industrious.

I think I have changed a little bit since I started at Baruch College. I think I become more independent right now. At the high school, the teachers would decide many things for me, but at college, there are more things that should be decided by me. With the coming age, I need to be more and more independent in my whole life. I can explore the world, and then finally find out what I really want is. Anyway, I would try my best.
