A quick wrap up

Only 2 more days and you make the final decision of your college decisions. I'm sure most of you already gave in the acceptance letters for barnard, right? Haha, if not, I hope my last post can persuade you to (I hope so)!
Barnard has definitely change me inside out within one year. I remember the me in high school is different from the me in Barnard. Barnard allowed me to understand what is independence, challenges and a campus life. Barnard is my home and I totally love it.
First year was definitely difficult for me but I realized that everyone has to undergo this transition state. I remember that my 1st semester didn't work too well for me because of adjusting to college and grades. However, 2nd semester is so much better. I know how to manage my time for academics and at the same time have fun. When people often say that pre-med students don't have a life or won't have a fun college time (although I keep saying it to myself), you do! Its what you make out of it. There are alot of time asides from class time and those time are the time that you have to make a schedule for. One thing I find very very useful is the gmail task option. I write the times down and what I should do at those times. It gives me a feeling of how much time I have for each task. For example:
9-9:50: Biology Class
9:50-10: 30: Read chapter 1-2 of eng book
10:35-11:50: English class
12-1: Yoga class
1-2: Lunch
2-5: English essay draft 1
5-6: Dinner with roommates
6-8: Club
8-9: Workout at the gym
And exc. You get the point, that's how I plan my everyday and it works out just fine. College is bascially what you put inside and that's what you get.
Barnard is a great small community filled with wonderful people. The classmates, friends, professor, faculties are all welcoming people. I love Barnard, I am glad that I chose the right place for college.
I hope you make the same decision too because you will never forget it.
Drop me a question if you need and I will answer it asap. Take care and good luck in everything!
