2nd Blog Post, William Yen

On Tuesday, October 10th 2017, I went to visit the Museum of Mathematics during lunch. I chose this museum only because of its proximity to Baruch College and my burning desire to pass Freshman Seminar so I would not have to repeat it in the future. Due to time constraints, I only stayed in the museum for about 5 minutes. Nevertheless, I experimented a genuinely life-changing moment when I witnessed the capacities of geometrical structures and the profound beauty behind these works of art. Suddenly, I felt a strong sense of appreciation for my calculus class, which I had previously found very dull and sleep-inducing. I suddenly realized how important mathematics was with its infinite power to sketch and define curves and angles and all those cool stuff. I am now so thankful that Freshman Seminar forced me to visit a museum because it will honestly have a significant impact on my academics. Mere minutes after snapping the selfie, I can already feel the activity assisting me during my first semester at Baruch. I will now try very hard to earn that A in calculus, and I think I won’t sleep in another math class for at least a day or two. 21 words beyond the word count of 200 because I could not control my excitement, my most sincere apologies.
