My favorite thing about this semester was slowly getting to know most people in our LC. It feels like each week I begin talking to someone new and finding out really interesting things about him/her. While I was upset during the summer that I did not get to choose my schedule, I’m glad our LC took most of our classes together. When school began this semester, I had no idea what to think of my new peers. I recognized a few faces from high school but mostly followed around M-Dizzle and Mr. Chian (when he wasn’t paying attention). Over the course of this semester, I got to know people from my high school better than I had in four years. That’s right Christina, now I know where you live. Muahahahah! I’m definitely going to miss having class with the people in our LC. You guys are funny, kind and intelligent with just the right amount of $ass. This meme very nicely encompasses how I feel, in a not patronizing way, whenever I get to know someone in our LC.
I came to Baruch thinking it would be very similar, in fact too similar, to high school. As it turns out, I was wrong but in a good way. I have so much free time compared to high school. The workload is very manageable and it’s nothing like being stuck in a chair eight hours a day. There is so much freedom that comes with having a four hour break between classes. Also once freshman seminar is over, I want to get involved with clubs at Baruch. It’s hard to build strong bonds at a commuter school but the clubs here definitely make a difference. Many clubs have strong professional connections that give their members an edge. In addition, I’m a lot more appreciative of the Dean’s Scholar Program now. Graduating debt free is a blessing in itself, but having priority registration and specific advisement hours is something I wouldn’t receive at most other schools.
When is LC karaoke going down?
