So… my first impressions on the first three months of college… tiring and stressful. Back in high school, I barely studied and went online for hours and hours after school. In college, there is just so much work to do because teachers try to cram one class into only half a year. Sometimes, I feel like I am just memorizing words that don’t even make sense to me. What is the point of cramming all this material if I forget all the information immediately after the test? I feel that college should offer classes that are actually beneficial in the real world, such as self defense classes or something else that’s useful. Also, we have a lot of freedom in choosing our classes, which is a blessing as well as a curse. For instance, I just chose my schedule for the spring semester of 2015 and I absolutely hate it. Not only do I start school at 7:50 AM every morning, I am also taking six classes. Sometimes, I rather they just give us a schedule so even if it sucks, we can say that it wasn’t our fault. However, I chose my own schedule and I’m not happy with it. On to another topic, the long breaks. Besides doing homework and studying, there is not much do to around here. Clubs are only every Thursdays and I don’t like how almost every club has like over forty people. I don’t feel that I get make friends in such a huge group setting. During the long breaks, I get extremely exhausted and just want to go home and sleep, because I just can’t sleep at school for some reason. Well, I should feel grateful because at least I don’t have like over four hour breaks like some other people at Baruch. Anyways, to explain the animated gif I posted, it was because after I met with some old high school friends about two weeks ago, they said I look horrible, probably due to my dark under eyes and dazed eye expression. I replied, it was because of college.
