This meme accurately describes my first semester at Baruch. At the beginning of the semester, I was an overachiever. It was bad. I tried way too hard. I remember my teacher assigned the class a 10 question quiz that had to be done online. I read the whole chapter and took notes on it. However, I realized that I was bugging out for no reason as the quizzes proved to be easy. As the semester began to materialize, I realized that I didn’t need to put so much effort into every class as my grades have turned out to be pretty good for the most part. Now it seems that the semester has gotten really easy and I’m not really motivated to work harder, as I’m more then content with how I’ve done so far.

This picture accurately sums up my entire life in school and I am beyond glad it’s the same case in college. I’ve always done good without studying and before coming to Baruch everyone kept rambling on about how college was going to be much more tough and how I’ll need to bury myself in a book all the time. Baruch hasn’t been as hard as I thought so far but I’m pretty sure that’ll change since the classes can only get tougher. The first few months have taught me a variety of things whether it be time management or the best halal cart in a 5 block radius. My only hope for my future at Baruch is that I get to keep my not studying and acing all tests ability because studying blows. I don’t need that shit.

My first three months at Baruch have been some memorable ones.  I’ve embarked on an insane journey that will lead me into a bright future.  I have made amazing friends; people that have helped me get through this semester, people that I enjoy hanging out with, and people that will always stay close to my heart.  However, my first three months at Baruch have been immensely stressful.  I’m not going to lie, it’s been a huge transition.  In the beginning, I eased into the college life, getting through homework and some quizzes.  Before my midterm exams, I had to gather all my prep materials.  My peers and I (like the polar bears)  got ready together, having study sessions and putting together outlines.  Then, as they came closer, it really began to hit me.  What felt like endless nights, constant studying, no social life, and A LOT of coffee.  I wasn’t sure if I could make it.  FInally, as soon as I finished my last midterm, I felt a huge burden be lifted from my soldiers.  I slept for an insane amount of hours!  However, now that I got through midterms, the polar bears in this meme have just reminded me that I need to relive this all over again for finals and through my next three years at Baruch! I can’t wait to see what the future holds and I’m so thankful for everything I’ve experienced and learned throughout these past three months!

This image sums up my entire thought process this semester. Due to all the work due at the same time, I have to manage and sort out what i do when. Words like sleep and free time are so rare now that it feels weird not doing something. At times i wonder what to do that isn’t educational. Other times i check over and over that i am not forgetting anything. Even if i have checked and confirmed and reconfirmed my confirmation, i still feel something is missing because i am not used to procrastinating anymore.

Most of the time.
