College so far…


So far, my experience at Baruch has been the same dull routine every day. It’s very similar to how it was in my high school: wake up early, rush to school, go to classes, come home, and complete work required for the next day. Rinse and repeat. The only difference here is that I have some free time in-between classes and not all homework assignments are expected to be due the following day. Because of these changes and being the generally lazy person that I am, my daily life schedule is a total mess. First off, because of the extra time in-between classes, my time spent at college is much longer than my time spent in high school. This becomes a test of attrition for me as my patience battles to maintain my attention span to last all the way from morning to the last class of the day. So after about two hours of commute, I return home, usually sick of doing anything work-related and slouch away on my bed to play with my phone. This is where my second problem comes in; back when I came home from high school, I was usually compelled to complete my homework because, well, it was due the following day. But now I am given much more time to complete much bigger assignments and I usually put these off till the very last day to do. Besides these problems which mostly have to do with myself, Baruch College has been a new and challenging experience. I haven’t quite gotten used to the way of college life yet, but hopefully I will be fully adjusted by next semester.
