My impressions of Baruch so far? Well…what can I say? So far, it just feels like high school part two. Well…except for the insane amount of writing. Sweet baby Jesus, I think I’ve had a writing assignment just about every week. It’s a jarring transition considering I only wrote like, one essay a month back in high school. Guess I kinda expected that there’d be more writing, though. Not that that makes it any better.
Anything I didn’t expect about college? Well, for one, I didn’t think the majority of an average day in college would be sitting on my ass, waiting for a class to start. Neither did I expect to return home everyday so freakin’ late. I’ve got little time for anything other than homework and/or essays by the time I get home. It’s tragic. Speaking of homework, let me just give a nice little shout-out to that Art class that everybody knows and loves. Sure, RateMyProfessors warned me that the class would be terrible, but man, I still didn’t anticipate how many precious hours I’d blow on pointless art projects this semester. I mean, I’m drawing a toy moose for homework in college? I just…I don’t…wut even.
This beautiful GIF speaks to the deepest recesses of my heart.
All in all…I guess Baruch’s been alright? Yeah, I don’t love it, but I probably wouldn’t be havin’ the time of my life in another college, either. Probably won’t be transferring, anyway, for financial reasons, so sorry, you’re all gonna be stuck with me for a while. You know, funny thing, CUNY’s so dirt cheap that financial aid’s actually giving me more dough than I need for college. Essentially, I’m actually getting paid to go to college. Ain’t that peachy.
Much as I hated it, this semester’s gone by pretty fast, actually. I mean, dayum, it’s already November. Can’t wait to spend the holidays with a lil’ special someone. o bby
I might like next semester better, as I anticipate less pointless art projects and speeches oh thank the lord Jesus.
Hi Colleen,
Your humor is, well, quiete on point, to say at least. With your posts and your speeches in Communications class, you really know how to crack a joke about matters that sadly are not so funny without your jokes. Your comic relief is just great, I really appreciate it especially during the COM class.
On a more serious note, I 100% agree with you about the work load of essays and everything that Baruch ‘expects’ us to do and do well on. I think that education is a process made up of three parts – the great knowledge you get from classes that spark your interest, the classes that are required and typically are irrelevant in life, and the classes that annoy you so much with the work load but actually provide you with some information that hopefully lasts more than just the duration of the final exam. College is a process, but I guess at the end of the day we can embrace the unbarring work load and simply make a joke, hopefully as funny as yours.
Hi Colleen,
I really do enjoy reading your posts and listening to your speeches in class. I think you’re a gifted writer and have such a dry sense of humor, which I love. I totally agree that art is a pain! It’s very much time consuming and gives me headaches but at least the teacher is a sweetheart. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the rest of your years at Baruch and hopefully you’ll have the time of your life as a student here! Good luck with everything.
Best,
Haram Chang
Haha, you were completely on point and had me cracking up. I don’t even know what the hell the object I used for art is, but the professor loves it like she loves everything else, so whatever. I’m just happy we have her as our professor and not some serious, depressed artist or something.
@Patrycja, Mehar, and Haram: Thank you three very kindly, I appreciate your comments. Wish you guys luck on your future endeavors, as well.
@Elias: Yeah, she’s a nice lady and all, but I kinda wish she wouldn’t share her whole personal life story every time I just want to ask a question. :V
