Okay, so here’s my long blog to replace my global awareness workshop.
the five workshops i’ve attended have all been pretty boring. i’ve learned the do’s and don’t’s of google, the way to score a decent internship, and how to and NOT to handle relationships. i’ve seen the art gallery, and i’ve gotten a taste of nearly every club in baruch college. all of this, though, regardless of how boring i may have found it, has enhanced my learning experience more than i may have expected. as stupid as it sounds, these workshops have helped me learn ways to keep awake and focus my attention on something that may not have caught my interest right away.
i do, however, feel that the club fair was a very useful workshop. the club fair had led me to join clubs that i didn’t even know the school had. if i did not attend, i would’ve never known we had a music industry club, nor would i have known about our photography club. it also encouraged me to join two of baruch’s most well-known organizations, WBMB radio and the ticker. both of those clubs are things i truly enjoy being a part of, and i would not be a part of them if i did not attend the club fair.
i also feel that the tour of the mishkin gallery was a great workshop. while it may not be very useful, it is something i definitely enjoyed. i am a photography minor, which is a form of art, and photography has led me to have a great appreciation for art. i never knew we even had an art gallery, and this workshop showed me something great that i could admire right in our very school.
furthermore, i feel that, overall, the workshops weren’t as terrible as i had anticipated. as much as i hated some, i did benefit from going to them, and i am very glad that i did.
