Finally there was a personal enrichment workshop that i could attend and it wasn’t full. the workshop itself was about stress and anxiety and how to decrease it and how to make it better. I enjoyed the workshop though, the two speakers seemed to be very shy and reserved and not ready to speak to a big crowd. Another thing was that they did a demonstration with holding raisins and describing them. it was very similar to what i had done in psychology with an m&m and its called introspection where you describe it fully and what not. I enjoyed this workshop and hope that when i become stressed during finals and having to write many many papers i will use the techniques they described.

I attended the personal enrichment workshop for managing relationships in college. The workshop was ok but they didnt say anything new to me. I know its important to maintain relationships in college but I think how you maintain them is based on the person. I already know that keeping in touch with friends is important and maintianing a reltionship is important but I use my own methods on how to. No one should tell you how to do it. It should come naturally to you. But for people who have trouble doing this, I guess it was informative for them. In my opinion they could have just asked a classmate for that information. Even when they broke us up into groups and talked to other people, it wasnt very helpful. I dont even remember who I talked to or what their names were. Not a very helpful workshop.

I attended the Personal Enrichment Workshop on October 8, 2009 and the purpose of it was to tell us how important it is to make and keep relationships with peers and others. In college, actually anywhere, we will interact with people every day of our life. Therefore, we are always creating and developing relationships with people we meet and know. Relationships are important no matter what kind it is. Having a business relationship with someone can lead to a future internship/job. Relationships with new partners can lead to having significant others, relationships with professors can help the learning process, relationships with older peers can help with tips and advice. For relationships to work well, you have to put effort into them, they also must continually develop and grow. This workshop made me realize how important and helpful it is to keep and manage relationships while in college.

I attended this workshop on October 8th and the purpose of it was to help us with maintaining relationships during college, both family and romantic ones. The speaker was a psychologist so she seemed like she knew what she was talking about. She gave us hints and many students volunteered to answer questions about their personal relationships. In the end, we did an activity when we had to meet at least 3 new people. I did, and forgot their names 2 seconds later. So much for that activity.
