Since the beginning of the semester I’ve attended all the enrichment workshops and my favorite by far was the Baruch Voices performances. The sincerity of the monologues was really touching and I kind of regret the fact that I didn’t put so much emotion into mine. I liked that we finally got a break from strictly educational things and finally got a chance to see our school mates as kids who go through the same issues that I do as new college students, children, siblings, etc. Some of the monologues were a little shocking like the one about the girl who cut herself. I was surprised that people were willing to put things that were so personal in a show for everyone to hear, but I suppose expressing your feelings like that could help with any emotional distress. There were also really funny stories like the one about how in love this guy was with this thing he was describing that ended up being bacon. This workshop will stick with me through my college life because it reassured me that I’m not in this alone. Every worry or issue I’ve experienced or will experience is the same worry or issue that several other people are going through too. I’m glad we were forced to go to this, it was interesting and made me feel a little more comfortable in college.
