My absolute favorite workshop was Baruch voices. Oh so much fun. The monologues were enlightening in terms of: if you give someone a paper and pen and the chance to tell their story, you’d be surprised at the diversity and intensity of what comes out. Some monologues were funny, serious, sad, hyper, psychotic, happy, and everything in between. If I wasn’t so worried about registering for my classes on the same day, I’d have enjoyed the performance even more.

This is what my first college semester felt like in the beginning. I found it difficult to re-adjust to the structure, having graduated from high school 2 years ago (home-schooled since 7th grade) and spending my time working and traveling (the good life). I wasn’t sure I’d connect with the people here, and I didn’t expect pre-calc to be as hard as it was; however, as the semester progressed I made some friends, got myself acquainted with the buildings and the system, and tried practically every food joint within a 10 block radius. Not too bad..
