If I could describe my experience thus far at Baruch in one word, it would be, “ugh.” While I’m so thankful for the opportunity to even go to college, I feel that I’m just not in the place I want to be right now. Starting off with my classes, I would say that the only class creatively stimulating and interesting to me is my English 2100 class. I thoroughly enjoy the class and I kind of feel like it’s the only class at Baruch keeping me educationally sane. I don’t feel like any of my other classes address my interests. For example, in my Precalc class, I’m spending so much time learning material that I’m not at all interested in or passionate about. Another aspect of Baruch that I’m not too fond of is the fact that it’s very business oriented. I feel like so many people at Baruch are so focused on making as much money as possible post college, even if that means compromising your interests and career desires. I’d rather focus on something that I’m passionate about and move on from there. As a result of this, I’d like to explore an array of interests and be provided with many different, diverse tracks for me to go through, but I don’t think Baruch really offers that for me. As of now I have plans to transfer to another school that will hopefully do so. Don’t get me wrong, Baruch is a great school and I chose to go here for a reason, however, as I’ve grown into myself I’ve realized that it may not be the best fit for me.

In reference to the GIF, I would say I reenact this head-in-hands movement at least once a day. I usually hit a point where I just feel overwhelmed and tired, just like Milania Giudice in her equally stressful life.
