The biggest thing besides the extra responsibility and independence that I gained when I started going to college, is me getting bigger and my wallet getting smaller. From glazed donuts, to Moe’s, to Gremaldi’s, Starbucks…. (this list can go on and on), freshmen 15 is an understatement! But aside the fight to resist food, transitioning to Baruch was not as hard as it first seemed to be. Yes getting adjusted to certain professor’s work guidlines and writing papers late into the night made me feel as if I’m a zombie the next day, but this is all apart of the college experience. Over the 3 months, I learned how to operate on barely any sleep, leadership, the need to write drafts, leadership, how to respond correctly in emails, leadership, the need to plan ahead and be prepared and lastly leadership. The fact that the college is in the city is definitely a big plus and only encourages me to say that I made the right decision in choosing to come to Baruch. I am though grateful for the fact that I’m in the dean honors program not just for the fact that I have free tuition but that we have early registration. Now I just watch as my friends who are regular freshmen panic at registering for classes as the times are outrages and the classes they want are already filled. Overall, I am satisfied with Baruch and can’t wait to see where this college will lead me too, but first I have to deal with the food inflow.
