College has proved to be a completely different experience from what I had grown accustomed to in high school. But the one thing that really threw me off was trying to find a way to balance schoolwork, sleep and a social life. In the matter of three months, I have gone through a roller coaster of all of the above situations, excluding the elusive balance of all three at the same time. The amount of work, all the new people and places to see, and the natural human desire to sleep every once in a while, I have learned, just do not work well together. Aside from this constant struggle, I have surprisingly enjoyed my time in Baruch thus far. I was worried that going to a commuter school would mean that I would likely not make any friends, and that my college life would consist of going to class, maybe the library and then right back home. But, fortunately, I have already met a ton of a great people, made a few strong friendships that I’m sure will continue to grow for the rest of our time here, and most importantly, I have learned a lot about myself. To say the least, it’s been a struggle but I’m definitely not as disappointed as I thought I would be.
