My first semester at Baruch has been great. I have been able to do well in most of my classes, make friends, and join many clubs. I am already the Chair of Graphics and Advertising for ALPFA, Head of Marketing for Roteract, part of the Campus Affairs Committee in the Undergraduate Student Government, and starting next semester I will be the Director of Photography for Lexicon and Vice Chair for the Arts Committee in the Undergraduate Student Government. I also work for Baruch Undergraduate Admissions as the Social Media Ambassador. To say the least, I am busy. But I have learned that time management is very important and I have been able to balance sleep, school, friends, and activities pretty well. I have already been exposed to many awesome opportunities and I am exited to see what will come in the future semesters. I am very organized and with all of the responsibilities I have, I am pretty good at keeping track of everything. But I have gotten so used to always being active and doing something, when I have those days that I don’t have anything to do, I feel very weird and suspicious like the character in my meme. Free time in college to me is weird, because I have gotten so used to always doing something, if I have nothing to do, I will find something to keep me occupied. For example, I am so exited for this semester to be over, but at the same time I have gotten used to such a busy life style of waking up at 5am to get to my 8am class in the city and getting home at 9pm and starting over again that I don’t really know what I will do to take up my free time during the break. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see…

It was my first day at Baruch, and I had no idea what to expect. I had heard so many rumors about college life, but they were just that rumors. I looked at my schedule and proceeded to take the elevator up to the fifth floor. I walked into class, but since I didn’t see anyone I knew I took the first empty seat I saw. I was nervous and excited at the same time. It was my first day at college, a new adventure, but yet here I was sitting alone. Then I started to panic, what if I’m in the wrong room and I miss my very first college class. Since I got to class twenty minutes early this panic continued for quite a while, but then finally class started. My teacher was so nice and I finally realized I was in the right room. Once class ended I found some friends I had met at convocation day, and at this point I started to calm down.

These two meme reflects my  attitude toward assignment, which is i get lazy at times and don’t really do my work until the night before and I’m exhausted all the time. with early classes i have to wake up early when most of the time i go to sleep late only getting a couple of hours of sleep. i have not yet adjust to being a college student and hopefully by next semester i will have comfortable schedule.

This could not be a better representation of my first semester as a college student. Long nights of staying up until 4 in the morning clutching that English paper or doing all my math homework 20 minutes before class. I have not studied at home for as long as i can remember. Something has to change if I am going to make it all the way through college. Hopefully this upcoming semester is a fresh start to improve me work ethic and planning.

These memes currently represent my first semester of college. I still have yet to master the art of studying which is a habit I hope to break by the Spring semester. Also, free time seems to almost be a myth. I am constantly working, completing assignments, and preparing for my future so much that free time has become irrelevant. #Facts

My first three months at Baruch have been pretty good. These two pictures reflect the school work that comes along with it. Getting accepted into college was exciting especially Baruch being one of my top choices but then came the homework, studying, and test taking… it is a lot. It is at times stressful but I know I could handle it and it will pay off in the end.
