I can’t say there’s much I enjoyed this first semester. It’s pretty cool being in Manhattan almost every day and I enjoy the freedom that comes with college. I like the long breaks in between classes, when I am free to do what I want. I also like the fact that classes only meet twice a week because you get more time to do assignments and manage your time. It has been challenging assimilating into a new environment and figuring out what clubs to join, what resources are available, and what major I want to go into. In the beginning, the complete change in setting from high school was a bit overwhelming but I think I am starting to get the hang of it. In the next semester, I hope my classes can prove to be more engaging and of interest to me. I look forward to challenging myself and furthering my knowledge in intriguing subjects. I also look forward to meeting more new people and getting more involved in the Baruch community. Hopefully, this new semester brings about more of the college experience I was initially anticipating.
