Throughout Freshmen Seminar, we were given the opportunity to attend numerous different workshops. My favorite workshop that I attended is Baruch voices. At first I thought this would be another workshop that I would not bother to listen to, but I actually paid some attention to this.

One of the monologues that caught my interest was the one about the girl wanting to move out. It caught my interest because I had always considered moving out so watching someone in a similar situation was amusing to watch. The monologue was also especially performed well, along with the other performances.

Another performance that I enjoyed was the one about the Asian guy smoking cigarettes. I enjoyed this performance because I also smoke cigarettes so I can relate to what he was saying. The actor who performed this did it well and the audience reacted positively because it was also funny.

Baruch voices made me realize that all college students have problems and things to stress about. Many students can relate to all the different situations the actors presented. By far, Baruch Voice’s is probably one of the best workshops Baruch students could attend.

Freshmen Year:

My first semester at Baruch College was somewhat challenging. I entered the college thinking to myself how much of a breeze it would be and how I would be getting straight A’s. Of course at first class’s were pretty easy and I was doing quite well until I started to slack off. I will admit that it is entirely not my fault, but I could have done more to better improve my grades.

Other than the grades of first semester, I decided to pledge for Alpha Phi Delta. Pledging has been the most difficult activity I had ever done in my life. Throughout pledging I learned my limits and went through a lot of stuff that I did not think I could do. I learned to manage my time better and be more organized. Although pledging has been very difficult and pushed me to my limit, I have no regrets on doing it. If i had the chance to go back in time to change whether or not I pledged, I wouldn’t change it at all.

Although first semester did go by very fast, I made sure I made the most of it. My goal before entering college was to have as much fun as I could while maintaining high grades. Even though I did mess up on the second part, I know I can change up work habits and fix it up. I’m going to end my semester by studying hard and acing all of my finals (hopefully).
