I chose a picture of a student holding a stack of books, because that is pretty much what college has been so far. I was not really used to the whole studying thing before i got here, but thats mostly what it is now. This first semester has definitely been a lot of work, and not having the greatest teacher definitely does not help that cause. Starting off the semester was slow, not much work at all but as the teachers realized we got comfortable they completely changed the pace. As it was getting closer to midterm the load became insane. There were so many overlapping assignments and everything began to pile up. Thankfully i got through it, with very satisfactory grades. Now its getting closer to final week, and the stress is definitely kicking in. Our english teacher handing out a research paper and another essay due a week later is definitely not helping. I got through it with midterms, so im sure i can do it again, just hoping for the best.

The Baruch Voices workshop was probably the one I’d call my favorite. I really enjoyed it because it came from the actual students that are currently in the same position as me. Listening to what other freshman had to say about their first semester allowed me to relate it to my own. It was also great because not only was it the voice of other freshman, but we got to hear a monologue from our own block. The presenters also made the experience a lot more enjoyable. The way they added the perfect tone to it made the monologues very entertaining to hear.
