My name is Alan.

Going to college at Baruch feels like the 13th grade. I take the same train and wake up at the same time that I did for high school. Baruch is also a commuter school which is the biggest reason it feels like the 13th grade. But going to college is a lot more stress full than high school. The responsibility of doing well in school is placed upon yourself. I’m constantly thinking about how to get an A in every class and how I’m going to manage my time. It makes me very sad that we get so much work because I usually wait till the last minute to do everything. We also have quizzes very frequently and it just makes my head hurt thinking about it. I worry that I procrastinate too much and it’s going to affect my grade.

Although there is a lot of work, Baruch has its good sides. There is a lot more freedom that I wouldn’t have in high school. The open campus means I can get anything to each for lunch instead of school cafeteria food. I also can’t wait to pick my own classes. Even though as a freshman we get to pick last, I’m excited that we have the options to choose what classes we take and what times they start. Hopefully my schedule won’t suck. I want it to start a bit late but still end relatively early.

One thing that I haven’t done yet is join a club. There are a lot of clubs available at Baruch but I haven’t found one that interest me.So far I am enjoying Baruch college despite the work is given.

P.S. When I was little I always wanted to be a ghost buster.
