I can still remember the first day we had school. I was very excited about college and I still am today. I expected the work to be hard but I couldn’t wait to take college on and learn a whole bunch of new things. The work isn’t actually that hard but more of long and requires a lot of extra time outside of the classroom and lots of just memorization, which I’m particularly not too fond of. Expected to learn a lot of new things just about myself also and I did so I’m happy that I came to Baruch and didn’t go anywhere else.

The first semester had its ups and downs for me. I met a lot of new people, learned a lot of new things and took up a new hobby so I’m happy about those things. Had a bad start to the year tho and a lot of things happened so it took me a while to get used to the academic aspect of it all. Finally starting to get used to it and getting into the swing of things so I can really focus more on my work now. I have a big problem with time management so I’ve recently started writing everything down in a planner on my phone and planning my day out down to the hour so that I don’t waste time anymore and prioritize what needs to be. Its a little too late in some of my classes now to turn things around but ill keep trying and Ill definitely be in good shape to do well next semester since I’m getting better at managing my time now.

If I could do anything differently I would probably change my study habits and manage my time better but I don’t regret the way things were because it let me realize and learn some important lessons that I’m not going to forget.

Ive changed quite a lot since I came to Baruch and I expected it but not to this extent. Ive grown much more mature than I already was and I’m focusing more on my life and what I want from it. Learning to prioritize people and things and also to bet rid of all the things that are just wasting time and have no importance to me and what I want out of my life but Ive still go a long way to go and a lot of things to still work through so I’m just taking everything week by week now also so that I don’t over whelm myself.
