On Thursday September 21 12:30, I walked into the LGBT club meeting first. I was excited to meet other people like me. But it was a bit underwhelming though. There wasn’t a lot of people there and the people there seemed to all know each other so I was a bit left out. They did try to include me in some of their activities but I wasn’t really interested seeing as I really wanted to go to the BSU General Interest Meeting.
So Walking into the room 4-120, I feel the energy already. People like me. People who sound like me. People who look like me. And i’m happy. I smell the food reminding me of the good old days when Jerk chicken and rice used to be on my mind all the time.
Then we started talking about the issue of Kevin Hart cheating again on his pregnant wife. We all definitely had vastly different opinions. But it just had a calming effect on me seeing people like me argue about current events yet they are still able to sit together and eat. I usually say i go to club events for the food but there’s just something inspiring about having people who have a common ground or people with similar interests come together and just have fun. This is why club hours are one of the best things about Baruch. If you have been missing out on it, you should join.
