Attending Baruch College was one of the toughest decisions I’ve faced. I had the opportunity to go to University of Michigan but because of family matters and the distance from my actual house, I chose Baruch. Would I say I’m proud of the decision I made? Not necessarily. Yes, it has been a great semester here in Baruch but I always wonder to myself how much better it could have been in U-Mass. When I went to my friend in Hofstra recently it made me realize that dorming isn’t always the greatest idea. Yes, you learn to be independent, but life is not that great in the end of the day. You are on your own and nobody there who really cares for you like your family does. I’ve experienced so much in Baruch already and I still have a few semesters left. With the different people surrounding me and “the city that never sleeps,” I would say that I’m adjusting. Soon I will have a job and I just hope I can balance both school and this job. I am excited for the rest of my time in Baruch. Nobody said life will be easy but I’m willing to face every obstacle that faces me in my path to success, confidently.
