BAruch offers many oppotunities to join groups and broaden social networks; I have not yet used any of these opportunities. I do, however, plan on joining a club, or even maybe a few clubs at some time in the future. I think that my time schedule, between school and work, does not allow for participation in a club, even if I am really passionate about it.
A club that interests me is the USG. I was involved in my high school student government, but being involved didn’t require much effort, and didn’t produce many accomplishments in the school. I believe that the Baruch Student government is more established and actually does things throughout the school community. It seems like it would be a great place for me to meet people, make connections and establish myself in this college, outside of the classroom. While all this really tempts me, I am still pacing myself to take on more challenges. As mentioned, my school and work schedule is too extensive and I can’t risk performing worse in school or work. However, this is something that I want to join and will!
