Academically, Baruch lived up to my expectations because I knew I would be able to keep up with the work after graduating from my high school. I’m doing well in all of my classes, except Calculus. The only thing I would do differently is drop out of that class because my teacher is just….grrr! Besides that, this semester was perfect. Baruch really exceeded my expectations with the friends I made. Initially, I wasn’t excited for freshmen sem, thinking it was a waste of time. When the first classes started, I realized I was totally wrong. I never expected to meet such great people and become so close in one semester. I actually liked coming to school because it meant hanging out with you guys. If I’m ever in a bad mood, you guys always make me laugh and cheer me up. I’m going to miss this semester because next semester means not having majority of my classes with all of you. I’ve changed for the better because of the friends I’ve made, and I can run on less sleep because now I’m used to working until 3 in the morning on some nights. And that’s without coffee. But anyway, I really hope we are this close for the rest of our college years. Thank you guys so much for making this semester awesome. Jordan, this message goes to you too because I count you as a friend more than a peer mentor, especially after we got tattoos 🙂
