I have been in Baruch for alomost three months. In general, the first semester in college is the first step of my college journey.During these three
months, I’ve been grown up through the difficulties. I think i am no longer like a kid in high school now. This semester was a very busy term for
me; it took so many time for me to get used to the college life. However, I really learned a lot in this semester.
At the beginning of this semester, I really didn’t get used to the new learning environment. Tons of homework, readings, and papers were really
annoying to me. The reading part was the most difficult part for me; there were so many new words in the readings. So, I had to look them up in
my dictionary in order to understand the context, which took me a long time to get the point of the passages. Thus, I had to spend more time
studying than others in order to get an A in the classes. In addition, writing the research papers was also an headache for me, because I had
never wrote a research paper before. Having so much homework had forced me to stay in the school library during my break which kept me
always busy. So, I didn’t get involved in the school activities. However, this was just the beginning, I plan to get involved in many schoo
activities next semester to learn some new things.
There have been so many hardships in this semester, but Ive got through all of them. So, I think my college life will be much better
and more interesting in the next semester.
