I used to be the type of person who would be cautious and be afraid of change. During my first semester at Baruch, I decided to move away from my fears and throw away any regret I had. I told myself that college life was a whole different beast, a new world, and a path that I can control; no regrets.

The experience of my first three months at Baruch was different from high school. Many of the classes were enlightening and interesting. I felt it was a time for exploration, of both different subjects and me. Philosophy was, while sometimes confusing, enlightening. Anthropology taught me to look at the happenings in life in a whole new perspective. English led me to great works of literature and expression. Communications set me onto an unexplored platform of learning.

I believe that these brief three months do not define my experience in Baruch, but have given me a chance to get to know both the school and myself better. I hope that as the future unfolds, my life at Baruch would be just as positive as my first semester.
