So… this meme truly depicts me during the semester so far. It can be seen through many aspects; whether it be my reaction to the professors I have for my classes, their teaching styles, the people I end up seeing at Baruch, and of course the surprise I get when I see my grades.

As we all know, studying for tests and quizzes is pretty stressful. To me, I feel like even when I do or don’t study, I end up getting a low grade anyway. Haha. But so far, in my classes, such as calculus or Latin American Studies, I would receive a higher grade than I expected. And I would think to myself exactly what the meme says, “What is this sorcery?” If you feel the same way, we are best friends. But I guess this is a good thing, so I’m not complaining.

On the other hand, what I AM complaining about, are the classes and the professors. Not all, but most. I guess each professor has a flaw, but maybe some are just more lenient, or maybe others are more organized; but what I’m saying is is that all our professors are different, and probably did not teach or handle the class well in different ways. Calculus: he was pretty confusing and seemed confused himself. English: we were reading stories most of the time instead of practicing writing. History: I don’t think the class learned much, except that no one really reads. LTS: wasn’t that bad, but there was so much information to take in for every class and the quizzes and test were killer. Communications: it was such a fun test, but not much feedback after each speech and the grading system makes it hard to see if you did well enough. And last, but not least, FRO: it was a fun day and we always got treats from our professor. (: That made my Thursdays, after all those classes. The only thing was that it was pretty late on Thursday, but it was a nice class to have, especially when Eena treated us to coffee, and we all just chilled and hung out together as Baruch students. We were able to get advice from Eena; well, at least Geet did (; . That made me closer with my friends and will be be one of my favorite memories, here at Baruch.

In the end, my first semester at Baruch, and as a college student, is quickly coming to an end with finals coming our way. It was great to spend this time with LC10. Good luck everyone!

(Who knows? We might get unexpected grades on our finals or we might have classes together again, and we will all say “What is this sorcery?”)
