FRO 2012: BWA

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.
