Favorite Enrichment Workshop

My favorite enrichment workshop would hands-down have to be the musical we were required to see earlier on in the semester. It focused primarily on the academic, emotional, and personal situations and problems, we, as college students, will probably encounter in our years attending Baruch. I thought it was such an eye opener because I hadn’t really thought about all the topics they covered in the musical. I was merely excited about the fact that I was officially in college but I focused more on the positives rather than the negatives that can possibly occur in my years here, hopefully not though. I enjoyed and appreciated that they chose to incorporate humor into the musical because for such serious topics, I think adding humor lightened up the mood but they still managed to clearly spread the messages they were attempting to get across. Surprisingly, I found many of the songs very catchy and although I haven’t been one to enjoy musicals, I realized that it was, in fact, the music that was very entertaining. Basically, I thought this musical really made me come to the realization that I was no longer in high school but I had stepped into a completely new environment. Although my high school had greatly prepared me for college, academically, there is no way that it fully helped me in understanding all the personal experiences and problems that can occur in college and for that, I like that we had to see this show just to be prepared for what can happen and the ways we may feel while in college.
