My favorite enrichment workshop has to be the one where we all sat in a circle and shared our biggest problems we faced while transitioning to college life. Baruch is very different than the traditional life because most of the students commute to the school. With this being said, there is little to do around school out side clubs. Because of this, Baruch feels much like high school, except with more people and a lot more work. I liked this enrichment workshop because it helped me to understand that the stress i was feeling and the change i had to go through wasn’t hard only for me, but for everyone else. We all shared our problems and possible solutions. This really helped me to feel more comfortable with my classmates and it helped me to realize that there were people that had it worse than me.  During this workshop, I learned a lot of helpful tips and it helped me to fix my problem of procrastination. I learned that I had a lot of similar problems as my classmates. We had problems waking up on time, getting to school on time and getting our work done on time too. A lot of people had problems balancing their social life with their education and it made me feel relieved that i wasn’t the only one.
