Section LC15

I went to this workshop last week about “Building and Managing Relationships in College”. We were told to meet new people to get connections. I meet a few new people sitting around me. She also talked about the relationships we have  with our parents and boyfriends/girlfriends. So the most important thing was to have connections with our upper class men, but the problem is that I am a shy person.

I attended this workshop on 10/8/09 and it was really long and boring.  Since this seminar was about networking, we were forced to meet new people.  The person leading the seminar made each section go to other sections and meet new people and then she called on random people to talk about who they met.  Even though we were supposed to, we didn’t.  We just sat there talking about where we were going to eat.  The seminar went by pretty quickly since all we were talking about was where we were going to eat lunch for the whole hour and a half.  I didn’t really learn anything new, just to keep in mind how important networking is though.  Although I am kind of shy, I feel like I will open up as the years go on.

It’s been a while, but I went to the club fair on Sept. 25. It was really crowded! I thought they should have like split the fair up into separate hours so that the different classes(freshman, etc.) would have been able to more comfortably look at the clubs. Also, I thought it was a little unorganized. When the DJ came on and people were about to have like a dance off, the music wasn’t even working and everyone looked all lost.

However, I think the clubs at Baruch are pretty interesting. I just signed up for VITA. Also I signed up for the Billards&Bowling Club. You get to play at SoHo Billards for free! Yippie! 🙂 I also wanted to join Golden Key, but they have the whole policy about being a junior with 20 credits or something. I think I’m going to do the volunteer events that they hold though.

Anyways, the club fair was okay! Needs to be more organized.

This meeting was really quick and straightforward. I was surprised by all the people that showed up. I was glad they discussed the packet of information we should look at in the future to familiarize ourselves with what we need to get into the Zicklin School.

So everyone knows that the Club Fair was held in the gym.  I really enjoyed seeing all the different clubs that Baruch offers.  The clubs I have signed up for is Handball and VITA.  For VITA I hope to learn a lot so I can use the knowledge in my own life in the future.  Although a lot of the clubs had really nice setups, I feel like they could have been more aggressive in recruiting new members.  I noticed that a lot of the people just stood and talked amongst their friends.
