Walking in Baruch on Monday morning for the first day of the fall 2012 semester was overwhelming simply because there are so many students on campus. Trying to figure out the fastest way to get to art history on the seventh floor was mildly difficult because the lines for the elevators were so long and walking was simply not an option. Once I got to class, it hit me how large the class size would be in college because lectures have about one hundred kids whereas there were only about twenty-five kids in each of my high school classes. However getting used to the size of Baruch did not take long at all. Having “club hours” is one of the main features I like here at Baruch because there are so many different clubs and events to go to, make friends, and find new interests. For the many events that I have gone to, the people there are friendly and inviting because they are excited to share their club with potential members. Although at first I felt like a lost puppy in a crowd of strangers, I feel at home after three months because I have gotten used to getting around and adjusting to the college experience. This feeling of adjustment is shown in my picture depicting a collage of many different and unique colors coming together to make one beautiful abstract painting. The painting reflects how I can now say I feel at home because at first glance, one would see different colors, but once you look closely one sees that there are similar colors. The few colors that are the same represent that even in a crowd one can find their own niche among a bustling crowd, as I have in the crowds of Baruch.
