Freshman Seminar assisted me because it made my transition into college easier. Although in the beginning I was not very fond of the many requirements for Freshman Seminar, at the end of it all I feel certain aspects of it were helpful. We were required to attend various workshops, and at some points forced to, because we needed signatures. Some of the workshops were disorganized and truly unnecessary such as the Freshman Open-House. I did not learn anything at all at the Freshman Open-House. I thought someone would speak to us about course requirements and answer questions, but people were just trying to rush us out of the room as it was extremely crowded. It was a joke. However, other ones such as the Internship goal setting workshop were beneficial. The Internship and goal setting workshop was actually the only workshop that I can say taught me something I did not already know. It familiarized me with the process of finding internships as well as how to apply for them. Even though that workshop was helpful, it was ridiculously long and boring. At times, Freshman Seminar just added to my problems as I had to keep up with fitting workshops into my schedule because of the necessary signatures. To this day i was not able to get all the required signatures. Some days I would simply forget my student planner and other times waiting to get a signature would be a hassle. I feel that blogging should be a sufficient for Freshman Seminar requirements because signatures are just stretching it too far. Overall, the workshops were either completely dull and pointless or helpful depending on which ones I attended. The requirements seemed overwhelming, but as peer mentors you guys really did a great job ( Robert and Jenny 🙂 ) Thanks for letting this blog substitute for a Gloabl Community Awareness workshop 😉 . I also appreciated the fact that I could ask you guys for assistance in making my schedule or any other matter. I felt comfortable asking you guys questions even when we were not at Freshman Seminar. You guys did a great job educating us about steps we must take do to get through our freshman year. THANK YOU GUYS!
