This meme represents my year at Baruch so far. In the beginning I was worried with what to expect in college, but as the year progressed this feeling of stress diminished. The anticipation of where I will be later in life floods my head. For now there is no reason to stress about the future and to just focus on what I'm doing now. If you focus on the now you will be prepared for what the future holds. There is no need to jump ahead or stress about the future in which you don't have control over or know what to expect until later down the road.  I've been up to date with all my work with minimal stress. Of course there are times when it is time to buckle down before tests and quizzes, but I stay on top of all my work. I look forward to the rest of my studies at Baruch and hope to be part of the School of Business in my coming years. High school has prepared me well for the years ahead and I hope to have a steady path along the way.

Course selection was a very interesting part of my college experience so far. During the application process for Baruch I knew that I wanted to major in a field related to business but I formed this decision mainly on what my parents wanted me to do. I thought that I would just major in business management but after going through the course selection process I realized that there are so many paths I can choose from. The required classes can be annoying but being able to select the classes I am interested in gives me the feeling of really being able to shape my future. I am very impressed with all the resources Baruch has available to its students and I feel I can really build myself a career that I am interested in. Getting to learn what the Baruch campus has to offer has made it easy for me to stop being nervous, make a plan, and get excited about my future.

college life

It is exactly show how my life really is. My first semester was not simple at all. I felt stress all the time. Each day is too short “for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.” Too many things should be cared about. The experience here, in both NYC and Baruch, is different than what I thought before. I became a different person since I have moved here. The life is not bad and I wonder how different it will be in four years.

My semester was quite an experience. I am absolutely loving it here at Baruch. The food is great and so are the people. Both of these are two important factors i hold dear to me. Furthermore, Baruch has offered quite a number of challenges. Including; calcuimagelus,philosophy, and speech communications. I mostly enjoyed Math because i have a deep respect and passion for how it relates to everything. My biggest accomplishment this semester was making friends and socializing. I joined several clubs including rotaract and Finance/economics club. In addition, my commute has become significantly less stressful. Looking forward to holidays and most of all the fun and exciting challenges next semester!

 

Cherish it

imageThis meme represents what plenty of people told me about high school.  While I was there I thought I hated it, and people told me wait till you leave you will realize how great it is.  Of course once it ended I missed every second. Not that college is bad or I’m not having a great time, my every day was much more simple in high school.  My first semester of college has been an experience.  I went to high school in the city for 4 years but I traveled.  Now that I live here it has been a whole different experience it’s as if I’m here for the first time discovering so many new things I love about the city.  My first semester has been a learning experience and eye opening.  I realize what work has to be done and how diligent you must be with your work you have to constantly be involved with your work, because if you are not falling behind is very easy.

My first semester at baruch was fun and challenging. My biggest struggle this semester was and still is math. The classes I enjoyed the most were English, theater, political science, and of course FRO. My biggest accomplishment this semester has been my struggle to stop procrastinating, I’ve gotten better with managing my time a little. I love the clubs at baruch Tuesday’s and Thursday’s are my best days because if the activities they offer. I also love working here and the different types of people I can meet, I thought coming to baruch that I would just go right home after college, but no everyone is friendly and open to meeting other new people. Baruch is helping me to not be so shy with the amount of participation, presentations, and group projects that we have to do, I mean the nerves will never go away, but these things are definitely helping.

The first semester of college was very fun for me. Making new friends, learning about a lot of new stuff, and learning to manage my time better. When I thought about college when I was leaving high school I imagine a whole new life with a lot of freedom  to do my personal stuff, which I got. But it wasn’t anything like that because I focused more on school. You do have the freedom but using it in the right way is going to make or break you. From my experience this year I will know how to mange my time better for next semester which will help me a lot and have less stress. The one thing I hate is taking the train to school because I was use to drive to high school everyday but its not that plus I don’t want to pay 20 dollars a hour for parking lol 😉

I think this pretty much sums up my life at college. Although college was fun to look forward to, it was not as fun as I anticipated. The hardest thing in this semester so far was waking up to my 9:30am class and going there on time and not to procrastinate until the last minute for all my assignments. But it was still better than high school where I barely had any freedom within the school grounds and I’m looking forward to the winter break and next semester!

My first semester at Baruch has been good. The things that I mostly struggle with is balancing my time.  Sometimes the work given for homework can be a little overwhelming  and I just leave everything and take a break when it becomes too much. I relax for 10 minutes so I won’t be too stressful, then good back to my work with more relaxed mind to be able to focus more.

First semester in Baruch was just like the plain, old high school all over again. Basically you just follow the schedule that was given to you. Despite that there were new courses that I’ve never took before, I still think classes are boring because I have no interest in those subjects. After going through the class registration process, I realized that baruch doesnt offer a huge varieties of courses. Even though I get to pick classes, the options are very minimal as you basically just follow the Baruch pathway. So far, the only thing I liked about college is the three day weekend. Before college, I always thought that college could be something like the picture. But I guess I’m wrong.

My high school was a very difficult academic school and knowing that I survived four years there I knew I wouldn’t have a problem in college. Man was I wrong. My first few weeks in college were difficult. My commute is ridiculous, the school doesn’t have a major I’m interested in, and it is freezing cold out! I am doing a lot better now and am learning how to use my time towards my school work wisely.

This pretty much sums up on how I write my papers. There are two main reasons why i write like this. First of all, I’m not used to writing long papers.Another reason is, I’m lazy. Trust me, I’m not gonna write more than necessary on this one too.

This semester has been a really long ride for me. There has been many bumpy moments where I considered whether I was actually cut out for the work. But by keeping a straight mind set I was able to struggle through my classes. One of the hardest class I have this semester is Anthropology. However hard it was, it was able to help me develop handy skills in time management. True this semester has been hard strenuous work but it was able to set me on track. I intend on making the rest of my time at Baruch as memorable as possible. And through Baruch I hope on learning the necessary skills I need to help me in the future.

I think that the beginning of my first semester sucked. I was constantly trying to juggle school, work and my friendships/relationship and I honestly couldn’t do it all. I had a hard time managing everything and at the end of the day I was constantly stressed and extremely tired. Then I’ve decided to take a deep breath and slow down. I reorganized my priorities and did everything in that order. I try to spend my time more wisely. There are days where I am stressed because of bad train rides, arguments, overload of work and rude customers, but I feel less stressed than before. I feel more productive now because I have an agenda for the day and take my time doing each one.

My freshman year of college had ups and downs, in the beginning it was going easy  until the work was getting harder especially the essays. I Didn’t imagine college to be easy or hard but an opportunity to achieve your goals. My biggest accomplishment is getting a B on my first paper and participating in class more than I did in high school .My biggest challenge was learn how to study and to stay focus, as test -taking is my hardship to overcome.  The class that I enjoy is English even though the professor is a hard grader she still finds ways to make us laugh, my goal next semester is to work harder and get a 4.0. What I like about Baruch is they find ways for you to succeed and have all these internships and clubs so you can learn more, in my future years at Baruch college I plan to study aboard and join clubs.

This basically summarizes what I did at my first semester in college, when I had a paper assignment due the next day. I would write my essay at the last minute and thinking that paper was great. Then the next morning when I read it again, the paper does not make any sense. In the end, I didn’t get the grade that I wanted. I learned that I should not do my paper on the last minute and I should go to the writing center for help.

The first semester was a bit challenging for me because it’s my first time experiencing college. I have to keep up with homework, there’s no one to remind me what’s due. And there’s a lot due within a week which is hard to complete. The homework load is just too much. My favorite class so far is English, the professor is very nice. Even though the class is three hours long, but it goes by very fast. My biggest accomplishment is being able to increase my grade in communication class which I started pretty bad. But after talking to my professor, I’m doing better. Baruch is okay for me, I’m not really enjoying it. I hope to join clubs next semester, and study aboard in sophomore year.
