Growing up in Long Island, I have always been very curious as to how life is living in the city. However, while growing up, I have not really been exposed to life in the city. I do commute every day back and forth from Long Island to the city, but I consider the city my home because that’s where I spend majority of my time. I have quickly begun to love the city life but on the other hand it’s always a great feeling leaving the crowded New York scene and going back to sleep in the quiet town that in which I live in. The streets in the city are always crowded and can be a little overwhelming at times. At the end of the day, in my opinion, the positives of living in the city definitely outweigh the negatives.

I have been in baruch for almost one full semester already, and although I haven’t had the chance yet to go around and check out different clubs, I was able to attend a fascinating workshop. The workshop I attended taught me many ways to react to different situations. Although I have already learned these methods in the past, it was definitely a good feeling to hear these good morals again. They taught us ways to react to different situations such as situations where a person makes a racial comment. This workshop really opened my mind to different things. I am pleased that baruch college has made such workshops available to students.

Hi, my name is Ariel. Coming from a private high school that was very lenient, the adjustment to college has been difficult. Although the transition has been difficult, I have begun getting used to college life and am starting to enjoy it. I live in long island, which makes the commute to school every day very annoying. Sometimes, when I don’t feel like going back home after school, especially when I end classes late at night, I sleep over at my brothers apartment which is located just a few blocks away from Baruch. This makes my life a lot easier because I can get an extra hour of sleep in which allows me to focus more in my classes. In my opinion, the major difference between college and high school is that in high school teachers care about students and care if they do well, but in college, professors wont hesitate to fail a student if they don’t earn good grades on tests.

During my free time, I like to go to the gym and work out. My favorite sports to play are basketball and football. I played these sports frequently during high school but during college I have had less time on my hands to make time to play. My favorite football team is the New York Giants, while my favorite basketball team is the New York Knicks.

For those of you that took the time to read this, I am sorry.
