My experience

This picture describes my first three months here at Baruch because I feel that it represents being clueless. When I first got here, I felt very overwhelmed trying to adjust to living in the city, playing volleyball, keeping up with my grades, and being social. I found myself not taking care of my priorities and just solely worrying about volleyball and going out with my friends. Unfortunately, my grades began to slip and I fell behind in a lot of my classes. I began to feel clueless because I was once such a great student and here I am, unmotivated and falling behind. After volleyball ended and I had a lot more time on my hands, I realized that I am here for school and that should be my number one priority. I created a schedule for myself to organize when I had free time to do the things I wanted and when I only had time for schoolwork. Although I am not completely where I want to be in life right now, I think that I’m progressing.
Observing my friends, I noticed that they seem to be having the same problem as me. I think that a lot of freshman have the problem of trying to adjust to a new setting while fitting in at the same time. In order for this to be at a minimum, I believe that high school should better prepare their students for what’s to come.
