The workshop I attended for the Personal Enrichment requirement was “Managing Relationships in college.” This workshop was of special interest to me because moving on to college and succeeding is all about prioritizing and managing your time. Considering I have a boyfriend, friends from high school, family I still live with, friends from school and a part-time job, I felt that life would get pretty overwhelming at some point and it most definitely has but I have learned how to give each relationship I have the time that is best for me. I am being a little selfish but it has worked fine. This workshop taught us how to take in to consideration our needs and the needs of those involved in the relationship. It specified that you should always focus on what is most important and that family and close friends should always be first because they are your support system. Regarding boyfriends they stated that you both have to give each other the space you need to grow and explore. Making new friends is tough and they acknowledged that but they said that you should make you best effort to make new friends because these are people who will become important in your life because they share one major common essence which is where you go to college and maybe even the same career choice. So an effort should be made to make new relationships.
This workshop was by the most interesting and everyone in there definitely learned something.
