My first semester at college has been extremely stressful. Spending most of my day walking to and from Penn Station, riding the Long Island Railroad, and sitting around in between classes. I ended up spending more time for the commute and doing nothing during breaks than I even spent in class. Penn Station is the worst on fridays. It is completely overcrowded with people rudely pushing walking into me like im not even there. Especially since I get out around rush hour. The best part is I didn’t realize how motion sickness I get on trains. Waking up at least two and a half hours before class in order to make it on time is much more difficult than I had thought. And I have become basically dependent on coffee. I really hope next semester I will be able to make my classes closer together or find a way to have a three day week, which I know will be near impossible.
Although transitioning to college in the city has been tough, I am very glad I picked Baruch in the end. So far I like most of my professors and the people I have met are intellegent and nice.
