In the first couple of weeks I was so concerned about joining something ASAP in order to settle in Baruch easier. What I came to realize is that its really no big deal. I guess it just takes time to find that one thing you want to commit to. I did, however, find that one thing. Myself and a few others from our “block” decided to join the USG. I want to take on a career in politics so it is almost a must to be involved with the USG. I am now part of the student service committee.
It’s great, only problem are the meetings. I do want to be involved and attend all meetings,but Wednesday’s at 5? Really? Wednesday is already my longest day. Now plus a 2 hour break and a meeting? I know I have to just suck it up. It will just take me a little bit longer to really commit to it. Despite not being too thrilled with the meeting time, it’s been great. The people I have met through the USG are wonderful people. I look forward to becoming more involved in the coming semesters.
