So is anyone joining a club, or found one interesting? I’m really looking for a club to join, during school hours.I need to kill off that lunch break. Speaking of lunch, sometimes eating lunch outside gets too boring.. I’ve been everywhere around and I even went all the way to Chinatown. What places do you guys usually eat at? What do you do during the lunch break?

Club Fair-Student Life
I went to the club fair to see what clubs there were at Baruch. I saw the apple club, Wall Street Club, Finance And economics Society, Golden Key, Sigma Alpha Delta and the Archery Club. I joined the ones that I mentioned and I hope it will turn out pretty fun. I participated in this event because I am a freshman and I need to see what this school is able to offer me at a college level. It turned out as I expected. I didn’t expect that much and I didn’t expect anything less. There was a few clubs that sounded interesting and I signed up. I believe every freshman should go to a Club fair to see what you can do outside of school work. Life is not always about school and I stand by that. There wasn’t much that surprised me other than the delicious cupcakes I got from joining a club. What I could take away from this experience? I feel that this was more of a networking event and meeting people it certainly helped me connect to the school a lot more.
Lamest Workshop Ever
I went to that “mandatory” workshop last week and it was the most disorganized event I have ever been to. The whole floor was packed and when I finally did get in there was only ONE lady who could sign your agenda. She was getting mobbed by the crowd and I didn’t even get a cookie.
Career Fair Sept. 25
The Career Fair was a convention where several organizations ranging from the IRS to Geico were offering Internships and job opportunities. If you are a freshman you are out of luck because they are looking for juniors and seniors who are more experienced and quicker to graduate. It still is, however, a great opportunity to practice your communication and small talking skills. The fair was also useful for researching the various job opportunities for a business/liberal arts major as well as keeping track of what degree is needed for what. Just be sure to wear professional attire (suit/pants). Expect to receive little trinkets such target tote bags, protein bars, and a pile of brochures.—Alan Wu
Archery Club
I signed up for Archery Club last Thursday during Club Fair. It meets on Saturday and Sunday in the evening in the old building, 6th floor. I went on Saturday and they taught me a lot of things. For example, what kind of equipment you need, how to face the target, how to hold the bow and how to pull, etc. I had a lot of fun. Although I didn’t shoot it exactly into the middle.. I think I did a pretty good job as a beginner.. =]
