The was me a majority of my time in my first semester. I was confused on a lot of class work and just confused where I belong in school, especially deciding what my major should be. However, I felt that after one semester, I think i got a better feeling of my surroundings and I’m starting to adjust. College is okay for me so far and i hope it gets better each semester. Other than that, what?

College is college 2nd post
College. When I thought of college, I imagined laying down on green grassy sun lit lawns in the morning and at night I would be a cram specialist, aiming to survive the night studying for midterms the next day, wearing my month-unwashed hoodie and ridiculously comfortable sweats,sitting next the a 60 watt lamp in my college library. But I guess this was not the path for me. I had the grades, school participation, extracurricular: Cross country, indoor track, out track, yet there was one thing that held me back and that’s when I knew I had to make a good choice than a dream choice. It was either I go live out my university dorming life with debt or not come out of college without debt with a decent degree. Of course, my choice was decided. I know this wasn’t what I wanted but I guess staying home and attending Baruch isn’t that bad. I still get to eat home cooking plus now that I’m a college student, I get an upgrade on my allowance. Also to mention picking Baruch was somewhat like a job as well. As long as I excel in my class then they pay me in financial aid which can supply a couple of years of pizza. And of course did I mention pizza, one dollar pizza. Its pizza and it’s a dollar and it’s right across the street for a dollar. I guess college isn’t that bad. It’s what I make of Baruch that counts then counts the days I’m done with Baruch.
Wei Loh (William). SUP!
HI! My name is Wei Loh and ,of course, I am a freshmen attending Baruch college as a regular entree. Now you must be wondering why my parents named me “way low”. No, It wasn’t because I was deep in my mother’s womb or I came out short. Thing is, I actually don’t really know myself, (insert laughing-out-loud). But, my parents at that time didn’t really know english that well so I’m sure it was just a coincidence. Plus, I actually grew fond of the name since it’s easy to remember and pretty catchy.
I came to Elmhurst Queens New York from Malaysia when I was five and I have been living here ever since. It wasn’t until recently, about 4-5 years ago, that I found how fun it is to talk to people and get to knew each other. It was difficult at first to get out from my comfort zone but look it where it got me. I was able to go on various adventures whether it was to the beach, hiking in the mountains, or even sitting on a rock and enjoying the view.
In my free time, I would try to play some basketball in my local park or eat. Eating is fun. Over the summer I also love to volunteer in my local church and take care of children.
Coming to Baruch, I hope to make lots of new friends and really experience what it means to be a bearcat
