My first semester as a freshman at Baruch has been absolutely amazing thus far. I have to admit though that like most people I was extremely nervous, didn’t know what to expect and I was extremely shy. However, that all changed at orientation. I was more social and started conversations with the people that sat at my table but once we were split into groups it was like I had to start back from square one and I did. I remember clearly Frida and Shaderra from the ice breaker we did. Frida said that she loved coffee and was addicted to it and Shaderra said that she doesn’t play basketball which most people assume because of her height. Then somehow Kenny and I began talking during our lunch break which is where we met Jabari. Thinking back on it now it’s kind of funny but I’m so glad we’re all close. Rodney just appeared out of nowhere later on but he’s really cool just like Tiffany, Sebastian, Ferzanna and our entire class. I have to admit we’re a good bunch.

I was definitely excited to start off my new semester, meet my professors and make friends just like the figure shown in the meme. When I received the syllabus from my professors I didn’t make the face in the meme I was actually just a bit overwhelmed but during class I couldn’t stop smiling. I felt that things were going great until I took my first few exams that’s when I realized how much work and studying had to be put into each class. I went from being an A student to getting B’s and C’s on tests. This was definitely a shocker for me and it made me want to push through further and to do much better. So far so good, I can’t complain. I recently got a group project for sociology that I’m really looking forward to doing. I can assure everyone it will be great. Now I’m just stressing out over finals, looking forward for the semester to end and be on vacation already. Overall, the experience has been unforgettable. I really do love Baruch now and I also really care for my friends. We’re getting through this together and it’s just wonderful. I can’t wait for the next semesters I have left. ” class=”wp-smiley” style=”height: 1em; max-height: 1em;” />
