This picture reflects my first semester at Baruch in many ways. My first semester at college was different than any other time I went to a new school after graduating from a previous school. It was different because this is the first time I went to a school and did not know one person previously since preschool. So, I had to make new friends in my first semester in college with other kids I never met before like it shows in the picture. Also, another difference in my first semester in college is that Baruch College is the most diversified school I have ever been in my life. All the different nationalities was also something I had to get used to in my first semester in college. This is also shown in the picture with the people with the different nationalities that made friends. As I had to make friends I also had to get all of my work done to keep my grades up. The workload in college is much different than the kind of work you get in high school. In college there is a lot more long papers. For example, in this first semester there was term papers, research papers, essays, a baby observation and many other kinds of papers. In high school I had some papers but no where near the amount that I see in college. Also, a thing I like is there are a lot less tests in college than there is in high school. For example, I had at least one test in one of my classes everyday in high school. But, in college you get a test once every one or two weeks. Also, I have noticed you get less homework’s in college then you get in high school. In the picture it shows you have to make new friends in college with different nationalities but their holding there books which means you still have to get good grades and keep your grades up in college. That basically sums up my first semester in college and how it is different than any other school I have ever been in.
