I honestly thought it was a good seminar to everyone, teaching the right etiquette at business meetings. Many things seemed obvious but it was good to refresh our memories on important stuffs that we need to know. I liked how they had powerpoint presentation to point out the different types of resumes and attires for the interviews. I’ll use the information from this workshop to help myself to do better in future job interviews and internships

Baruch College invited Charles L. Ni to have a panel discussion with group of freshman students, and I thought it was a great idea. But however, timing was bit off. I understand why this panel discussion was held during the club hours, when freshmans do not have classes, but they should have ended it bit sooner to give us bit longer lunch break. That was something to work on next time. The panel discussion was okay…and I don’t remember too much from it because the beginning was boring and I was dozing off. I had a hard time trying to make my self to stay awake during the entire event. Overall I thought it was a good event for the freshman students to understand about their personal identity

I feel empowered when I pretend to be in action movies. Come on, almost everyone had a fantasy of becoming a protagonist in a movie. Saying Yippie Ki Yay Mootherfucker, and killing ruthless terrorists was one of my dreams. However, if I had done this in real like, I would probably end up in prison for rest of my life. However, I had fulfilled this fantasy through laser tag. Yes laser tag may be dumb, but it is so fun once you’re into it.

For my  senior class trip, our class went to a funplex in upstate NY. Because the whole place was rented out for our class alone, everything was free and unlimited. Including lasertag. My friend and I, who were into action games, decided to take up a notch. We pretended that we were actually playing a First Person Shooter. When one round began, we moved together as a team, gave covering fires, dominated upon girls who had no idea what they were doing, going into different vantage points to gain advantage and waiting for our next prey. Even though it was a short day, it was enough to fulfill our fantasy of being in an action movie.

It was a time when I felt empowered.

a. I think that I am an extraordinary person because my life is completely different from everyone. I had exciting moments in my life, both good and bad ways, which made me into a completely unique human being, which makes me stand out in a crowd.

b. One concern is the fear that I won’t do well in my first semester. People told me that first semester is one of the easiest time to mess up your GPA, which I dont want it to happen. So fear that I won’t do well

another concern is that I won’t get adjusted easily. I had a hard time when I first went to high school, at 7th grade(that is how my school worked). I was nervous, afraid and didn’t do well. Since college is completely different than high school, I’m bit nervous about that.

my last concern is that I won’t know what I want to major in. Right now, I am thinking about either psychology or business. But there is a chance that it might change, which could lead into more time and money…which is not the best opinion to me. I hope to decide my major before it is too late

c. One of the things that is different from high school is the longer commute. I would usually walk to my high school, which took me 20 min, but now the commute takes much longer, about an hour. Commuting shouldnt be that much of a problem

d. I think that first year at Baruch will make me more matured. I’ll be able to experience more things, and those stuff will make me more matured and into a different person (in a good way)
