First-Year Seminar 2017 – DFA

Blog #2: WICC

I joined the West Indian/ Caribbean Club (WICC). This club was created to bring Caribbean vibes to Baruch as well as to teach many the history of the Caribbean culture. This is because when many think of Caribbeans they think of food and dance. The leaders of this club want to bring out how there is much more to it than that.

The last meeting I attended started with an icebreaker. I’ve played this icebreaker so many times already from just coming to Baruch. We played Rock Paper Scissors (tournament style). I’m honestly tired of this game at this point. This is mainly because I always lose. After you lose a one on one rock paper scissors game, you have to cheer on whoever your opponent was so that he can beat his next opponent. This will continue until theres only two people left with many people behind them cheering them on.

After this they started talking about the club. I noticed plates and heard that we were going to get pizza. I was very hungry so I was really excited for the pizza I must say. However, before the pizza came we started playing a group online game on Kahoot that WICC created. The game asked trivia questions on Carribean countries of the Antilles and more that I didn’t know anything about. I was surprised to get in 5th place at one point of the game. I guessed majority of the answers I put.

After the game, we finally got to eat the pizza. It tasted great and I honestly wanted seconds. After eating pizza, we went right back to playing another game of Kahoot, in which I lost again. It’s okay though. I’ll learn more about the carribean culture as I continue to attend the WICC.
