Before I even started classes at Baruch, I was very excited for my first semester of my new college life to begin. Moving in from Long Island to the big city, I couldn’t wait for the wealth of excitement and opportunity that Manhattan has to offer. Living in the dorms on the Upper East Side has been an amazing experience, for having a place to come home to in the city makes staying active and busy simple and easy. Since moving here, I have done countless things to experience the culture of New York City. I have done such things as visit the various museums, attend concerts, attend a Mets game, and much more. One of the highlights of the past month was when myself and few of my friends went down to Democracy Plaza at Rockefeller Center on Election Day, and witnessed the results of the election in the epicenter of all the news coverage, making for a really fun night.

I believe that I was able to adapt surprisingly well to the college life, as well as the workload. My classes this semester were not too much for me to handle, but I did slack off to an extent, and I do regret doing that. I know that I will be in a much better position for next semester, as I will have gained some college experience under my belt, and will be able to take on the more difficult courses that I will be taking. I am also still an undecided major, and therefore I hope that I can discover what I want to major in by the end of the spring semester.

I was very involved in high school, especially in the music and theater departments. Unfortunately, that is an area that Baruch does very much so lack in, but I hope to make the most of it and find some other way to get involved next semester. I would also like to start a search for an internship for the spring semester, for I think that getting one would give me the experience that I really need for the years ahead.
