Out of all the enrichment classes we have attended this semester, my favorite one has been the photography gallery. Even though most of them really did suck, I sort of enjoyed the photography one. The Jazz photography was actually good, the photographers in the exhibit were actually really well done.  Even though the lady doing the exhibit made it really boring. The pictures they had in the exhibit were really well done and actually inspired me. I guess the only thing that really bothered me about the exhibit was that they never got student work done. I feel like if the exhibit is part of Baruch College they should at least be getting student work in to push an art movement at the school.

My favorite part of the exhibit was the black and white photography. I guess I really enjoyed it cause I’m trying to study documentary photographer and I really enjoy black and white photos. I was disappointed in the fact that they did not even had a single film picture, all the photos were digital, and beautiful but for me film is the way to go. The exhibit really did motive me though to push and try harder on my photography, and I like the whole culture part and music aspect of it.

Baruch elevators are like monkey in a barrel  let us see how many students we van fit into one elevator. yay !

My favorite enrichment workshop was when we observed the bald draped Buddhist monks pour sand into little slits of a wooden slab that in time ended up a very majestic symbol. This workshop was very interesting. Before seeing this workshop I always perceived Buddhist monks as big fat bald people in robes that just chill around a temple and pray do karate and hum. However, when I attended this workshop I saw that I was partially right about my hypothesis. I thought that Buddhist monks were bald and wore robes and I was correct, but I also thought that they were all fat and never left the temple and that is where I was wrong. This experience resonated with me because there was no other place that I know that I would be able to find and observe Buddhist monks the way I did there. Finally, seeing the Buddhist monk has inspired me to research Buddhist monks and maybe one day visit a monk temple and maybe become a nice bald Buddhist monk. Finally, seeing the buddhist monks in action really made me think that people can be so peaceful and just mind their own business and seeing that impacted me into thinking about being a tiny bit more respectful and just a tiny bit less loud.

Baruch college these past three months have been very interesting. Before attending Baruch i expected college to be like parties all the time and everyone getting fucked up. However, when i enrolled for Baruch and finally entered i realized that all colleges are the same way and Baruch is very unique. Students attending Baruch all are there for the same reason, to advance their knowledge of the world and improve their education in a certain profession or a certain business. After a little while of attending Baruch i started to realize that to strive in Baruch and to be successful a student must be very outgoing and must have a lot of confidence. It takes a special personality to truly excel and enjoy Baruch. You must be outgoing and confident for many reasons. Baruch is a school that is based on internships and networking and in order to obtain those things one must be confident enough to approach a person and must be outgoing enough in order to find the people and have the proper connections in order to so. Furthermore, i have realized one thing, there are a lot of cheaters and schemers in this school. Baruch has multiple tricks and special ways of advancing your education and making it an easier and more fun experience. Finally, this picture represents an strong outgoing and confident person, come on look at his motions. After a while at Baruch i am very content with my education and the atmosphere of the school. One major positive of Baruch is that there are not as much distractions in Baruch as you would find on Campus or any other school.
