Club Fair 9/24 (PART II)

Well since my previous post was so poorly written that I was recommended to rewrite my post because it seemed as if I really wasn’t at the club fair. The club fair took place on September 24th from 12:00 to 2:30 pm. This was for the student life workshop and I found the fair pretty interesting. I actually got to the club fair at 12 on the dot and had my Baruch card swiped in. I was highly disappointed because there were only a few clubs there at the time. One club that was there early, on time rather, was the Arabic language club. This one stood out to me not because it was one of the few clubs there but also because my girlfriend speaks Arabic. Obviously I was thinking about joining to look good infront of her parents (Kidding). As time started to pass, by 12:30 more and more clubs began to pile in and before I knew it the gymnasium was packed like sardines. I must of walked around 20 times searching for my peer mentor, Tamanna, so she could sign my freshmen seminar passport and also to check out the other clubs and fraternities that’d interest me. However I was let down from both aspects. The fraternity I originally had interest in, Alpha Phi Delta, didn’t even have a booth set up. Secondly my peer mentor was no where to be found. I saw a lot of the classmates from my block looking for our mentor as well. Eventually I gave up looking and some representative at the student life booth signed my passport. All in all this workshop was pretty cool. It was definitely really hectic and at times made me feel a little out of my “comfort zone” because I was all by myself in a completely new environment. It would’ve been easier if I went with friends so it wouldn’t be as awkward, but that was 3 weeks ago. Things have gotten a lot better and I’m beginning to enjoy Baruch a little more each day. I’d definitely recommend this workshop to anyone because it’s definitely worth it. I believe everyone should join clubs make the best out of your college experience!
