Transitioning from high school to college caused a shift in my life. In the past, I walked ten minutes to school, now it can take me up to two hours just to get to Baruch. This switch in commute requires me to wake up at five or six in the morning to begin the ride to Baruch. A long commute has made me learn that I have to focus a lot of time management. Since most of my day consists of my commute, with the time I have left I try to do all my homework as soon as possible. In college, we use a syllabus for each class. This can help me plan ahead for papers or tests. Along with handling homework and tests we have gained the responsibility of registering and choosing classes. Having a variety of classes, we are able to take classes that are required and different classes that may interest us. I have also found the diversity of clubs we have in Baruch that we can join so we can do things in our free time that we may enjoy. For me, joining a clubs can help me make moreĀ friends and meet new people that can help me out in different ways. Making the switch between high school and college was a big step, but being in college brings me a step closer to getting to know who I am as a person and can also assist me in becoming a responsible adult.
