Reflections– i guess this counts towards community awareness?

Just throwing it out there according to my microsoft word word count this is 310 words =]
In all honesty, I felt like freshman seminar was just a hassle. Going to the events, getting signatures, blogging, and some of the seminars were lack luster and pointless. I think freshman seminar is unnecessarily long. I don’t think it has to be an hour and fifteen minutes. Shortening it to under an hour might just hold my attention span. It would also be preferred if the workshops were not the same time as freshman seminar. Some seminars were helpful and even fun, while others were not. The career advisement and academic advisement were beneficial, helping me to understand how the process at Baruch works. I also enjoyed the seminar about professors. We were able to unload our feelings about them and how to solve conflicts with them. However, the seminar that was not at all informative or beneficial to me was the communications one. I felt like I got nothing out of it. Despite the negative tone of this paper, I did find transitioning easier. Freshman seminar was informative and the seminar leaders were helpful and nice. I could always ambush them in some random place at Baruch and ask them a question or just say hello without them getting annoyed. Blogging was just a burden because I have a tendency to forget to blog but I found it fun at times because it allowed me to express my opinion on the workshops. The best aspect of freshman seminar was meeting and getting acquainted with the people in my class. In class you can’t really talk to anyone because the professor is too busy lecturing but in freshman seminar I was able to get  to know other people, whom I am friends with now. These friends also made the transition easier because I knew people in class. Overall freshman seminar has its downfalls but there are some positive aspects.
