I think this picture epitomizes how I feel about college right now because I really did not expect what I ultimately got. There have been nights that I have not slept at all to get a grade in return that I did not deem worthy for all the hours that I have studied. And, I am just ready to go on my one week vacation after finals because I decided I’m actually going to take winter classes (lol).

One thing that I learned about myself in Baruch is that, I should be competitive and take risks. I have heard so many stories of people applying to places that they were not qualified for, and truly faking it till they make it. And then succeeding. I feel like that’s such an inspiration that I get here at Baruch, to be surrounded by so many people who just want something so bad and believe in themselves so much that they can make other people believe in them. I want to become one of these people, instead of just being happy with what I have, I want to greed to always want something more.

One thing that I look forward to next semester is being able to meet different people in my classes. (I love you block). But, I think college is a time to create networks and it’s hard if you’re stuck in the same circle all the time. I’m also excited because I got to choose my own classes and professors, (the process of making your own schedule is equally as stressful as the classes themselves). Other than that, I’m excited because I’ll have club hours both Tuesday and Thursdays so that’ll give me more opportunity to open myself up and introduce myself to a larger group of people! 🙂
