College was a big transition from high school. I quickly realized that the workload was much bigger and there was less and less time to be wasted as the year progressed. In high school, there was usually some downtime between papers and projects, however, in college, it has been paper after paper with readings crammed in between. It took a lot of adjustment to get used to the changes. This meant studying harder and managing my time wisely, which didn’t always work out as planned, but somehow I’ve gotten through most of this first semester with only a few bumps and bruises.
Going into college also meant leaving behind a home that I got to know so well over the last four years and finding a new niche for myself at Baruch. Having a learning community like LC15 made the transition a lot easier. For a commuter like myself, it became the dorm room of my college experience, a home I could retreat to after wandering the floors of a vertical campus. The friends that I’ve made and experiences that I’ve had so far have really made my decision to go to Baruch worthwhile.
