Alright, I’m going to knock both these posts out before I give up on getting work done. My first semester felt like a calmer version of High school to be perfectly honest. I can even say  that many of my classes were in fact more difficult and challenging in high school; However, I am glad that this was the case; because if I have easy classes then it will hopefully be easier to transfer to a school with an engineering program. My classes were just so chill and I felt little to no pressure from my classes (was this how HS was for other people?). My school was really intense compared to this, all of my classes were an hour and a half long and we had exams every other day. As for my social life, I made a group of friends and while I don’t hang out after school, that has a lot to do with my inherent laziness and having work on Tuesdays and Thursdays than it does with a lack of friends. If there is anything that I can say is really different is the area around the school; I went to school in Harlem, in a place where you saw a lot of questionable behavior and the people who were around definitely weren’t as nice as they are downtown (businesses here say hello and recommend things while most back in HS wanted nothing to do with me). I can honestly say that I have really enjoyed this semester, I got a lot of downtime to play games in class and the work load was completely manageable, I’m actually kind of sad that  I will have to leave this place to get the major I want but I am sure I will never forget my first semester in college.

Well, I get that I am supposed to write about my favorite one or about how they have affected me but I can honestly say that no session comes to mind;  in fact I felt held back by these events and they have impeded on many activities that I would like to do. It probably is coincidental but every time I actually have something to do ( be it picking up a sibling from school or registering for classes the workshops always got in the way; actually that isn’t completely true, The museum didn’t get in the way of anything so I’ll choose that one as my favorite. As or changes… well I already had been to a lot of museums and I spend my life on the internet so I have to be skeptical of what I see; and Baruch voices only got in the way of my registration and kind of screwed me over even more than my appointment to register. All in all, I think that it is a waste of time but I can see how this can help SOME people or perhaps entertain others. As for me while the class was fine to attend I really disliked this out of class commitment.
