So today i went to the Managing Relationships Workshop. The place was packed, as expected. The speaker spoke about 3 different kinds of relationships: Family, Friends, and Romantic. I found the family one to be interesting because she began discussing the types of boundaries between college students and parents and i realized how many boundaries i have with my parents now. The Friends one wasnt as interesting because she basically restated what everyone had been telling us throughout our first semester. However, I did get to meet a couple of new people which was a plus. And the relationship part had no real interest to me. All in All, the workshop was a decent way to spend a 4 hour break.

Before I begin, I wish I could change the font. I like Arial better than Times Roman. Anyways back on topic, I went to the Relationship Management Workshop. The workshop introduces themes that most knew. Such as: How to have a smooth breakup, how to talk to your parents about the change in time. She made us do some stuff too. She made us walk around to get to know people. I don’t really think that was effective because the people she called on didn’t go anywhere. Another reason as to why I don’t think its effective is because I forgot the names of those that I had talked to at the workshop. Other than that, it was a fun experience. There was a few clowns yelling out stuff so that made a few people laugh. I don’t really know how much I have to write about the workshops that I have attended. Is there a requirement to have a blog entry to be about one paragraph or do we have to type out an essay about it? Oh yeah, this is the 3rd workshop that I’ve attended. That leaves 3 workshops left.

I found this workshop to be somewhat interesting. Especially when everyone had to get up and circulate the room making new acquaintances.  Getting to know other people who wer were just meeting for the first time. At first most people seemed to be nervous and so was I, but it was fun even though I only got to meet two other people. At the workshop we also learned about a networking site called LinkedIn.com which was said to be a website similiar to facebook but revolving more around adults. We could use the site to establish networks and connections to our professors and anyone else who may provide guidance through our student development and seeking careers. Overall, the workshop wasn’t bad but I’m looking forward to the very next.

I just went to the  relationship Management workshop which was about establishing connections and friendships in college. It main point was that friendships in college can last a long time and will ultimately be beneficial in the future. Overall its wasn’t that bad but being told the same thing over and over was kind of annoying. At least the part where i had to go around talking to people wasn’t that bad; after all i got  to play with an itouch which is always fun.

This workshop took place on Thursday, October 8th in the first floor of the Vertical Campus. It delt with the different types of relationships students in baruch have and the different ways they can be managed. The workshop started off with a discussion of families, then it progressed to networking and ended with personal relationships. For the most part the discussions were interesting and well spoken. I learned a few new things, linkedin.com and about the counseling department for example, and met some new people. This time the room was large enough to accomodate every student so I don’t think there will be another reception incident. Overall, the workshop was informative and well organized.
