The Study Abroad Workshop taught me about all the options I have for studying in different countries. I really want to look into to studying abroad and this workshop helped me learn about what it entails.
Academic Enrichment
On October 20, I went the Using and Evaluating the Web workshop for Research. It was at the Library. The librarian was the presenter. He took about using Google and how to use it for research papers. He said the most reliable sources tend to end with .edu or .gov. Those sites have the most accurate information. Using quotation marks and key words and phrases, using Google made it easier to find information on the internet. This information was very helpful with my English research paper. I hand the librarian my book to sign and he said someone signed in for academic enrichment. Apparently, the lady from the student service fair signed in the wrong spot. He signed it anyway and told me not to worry about it. Hopefully, this mishap determine if I pass freshmen seminar or not.

Personal Enrichment
On November 13, I went to the Mediating and Resolving Conflicts workshop. It was pretty crowded because some people didn’t sign up for that workshop. Luckily, I did. I learned that most conflicts start because people don’t listen to each other and are unwilling to accept other people’s opinions. The answer would be to have an open mind about a person’s belief. In addition, I learned men are always wrong and women are always right

Stress and Anxiety Reduction
On November 13th I attended this workshop expecting to hear a bunch of things about how college is stressful and that it is very had to manage the workload as a freshman in college. What I in fact learned from this workshop is how to deal with these stresses. They taught me how to reduce my stress levels when I am feeling overworked or just stressed out about school. I thought that this workshop was one of the more helpful as it taught something that I will use when I am stressed over my amounts of work or tests in school.

Blood Drive
On December 2, I participated in the Holiday Blood Drive. It was in the Multi- Purpose Room. They gave me a form and told me to check off everything relating to my medical history. When I was done with the form, they checked my blood pressure. When I was cleared to give blood, I sit there and waited. They inserted a big needle into my arm. After donating blood, they gave me cookies and apple juice.

Freshman Reception
On September 17th I attended the Freshman Reception workshop because I had received a postcard in the mail the previous day inviting me. This workshop ended up being overcrowded and unhelpful to me. All of the things discussed at this workshop such as the requirements of how to get into Zicklin and the other schools, I felt as if I had heard before or could hear somewhere else with much less distraction. However, I thought that this workshop was a good opportunity to meet new people and discuss our new lives as students at Baruch with other people who are in the same position as me.

Study Abroad Fair
On September 17th I attended the study abroad fair in the multipurpose room in the NVC. I attended this workshop because I have always been curious about studying abroad and I didnt know much about how the process works or where to go. This workshop brought in many different schools from abroad to promote their programs and it helped me decided that I might possibly want to study abroad one semester in London. This workshop was informative as well as helpful to anybody with questions about studying abroad.
