Well…. that’s been how my first semester at Baruch has been going. In high school I used to have classes that I could relax and not care about and still do well. But now in college every class I have to write notes, pay attention, and participate in order to do well. My brain hasn’t stopped since entering Baruch. Whether its calculus, art history, history, english, political science, or even freshman seminar, there’s always something to do in every class. I have to keep track of deadlines and whats due in what class and when. I have to keep track of tests, finals, and quizzes. Writing papers and homework assignments are becoming daily routines,not like high school where I would get one paper per year. Then I have to make my own schedule and keep track of what classes I have to take. This was no easy task. Being a freshman and getting the worst possible time to schedule was probably the worst thing I had to do so far in college.
Overall my time in college has been great but tiring. The long train rides, the dreadful 2 hour classes, and the early morning wake-ups I feel as though I haven’t rested my brain at all. Weekends have become more of sleeping and getting work done rather than dinners and party’s. Thank God for the sabbath…. (hahahaha). But truthfully I have enjoyed college, even though its been hard adjusting and getting used to the hard work that must be put in. but that’s what I’m starting to realize. I must put in the hard work, the long study hours, and giving up some of my childhood and start to grow up, because sooner or later I’m going to get a job and I have to start taking responsibility. So even though my brain hasn’t stopped since college started I’m going to get used to this and realize that those days of doing nothing on Sunday and going out every night have come to an end, but I’m still young so ill adjust slowly because I love the do nothings Sunday’s… for now.
