Being college students, I have realized that my relationships with my mother, father, sister and other close family members might start to diminish because of school work Also, because I will be spending roughly probably the most part of my day in Baruch College meaning less time I will have to spend with my family. This workshop about managing relationships with the ones you keep close really gave me several suggestions of how to stay in touch with these people such as my mother, father, sister, girlfriend, etc. One advantage that Baruch College, or most CUNY schools for that matter, has over most other colleges such as State Universities is that we commute and don’t dorm so that can help in keeping the relationships in tact because we have that advantage of going home and seeing our close friends and family members everyday or every other day instead of every weekend or every month. I am a firm believer that time away from the ones you keep close actually does help the relationship grow stronger, but too much time away can make it worse so this workshop did help me in how to manage my time away from them.
