My group chose to do “Studying Abroad” as a topic for our NY Times Project and it definitely relates to the issues present. It proved to be very tedious and that studying abroad is a major concern for students everywhere including Baruch because there are many factors that are negative like the costs for traveling and dangers whether it is abuse of national security or criminal activity. Studying Abroad was definitely a topic that is alarming for the students at Baruch looking to do just that.

1. I have learned nothing from the self assessment and has no way influenced my major and career goals as I know what I’m going into and that interests me. In a sense, it repeated to me what I already am.

2.The results have not changed what I have in store for my future plans and instead informed me a bit on what I want.

3.Overall, I thought FOCUS 2 was informal and helped clarified what I want to go into even though I already knew what I want.

My experience here at Baruch has been a dreadful one though I experienced this earlier in my high school years. The classes went quick and boring, causing me to fall asleep constantly and it applies to almost every college student even at Baruch. I still procrastinate in almost every class. Also, I feel that there are more tedious processes to join clubs and I also felt that the clubs do not hold any interest for me. The workload was a lot of me considering that I had little homework in high school and that caused more stress for me as well.

The Enrichment Workshop was  nonetheless very boring to me. The professor giving the welcome speech was repeating things that apply generally to most people like people’s motivations, the need to succeed, get a career, etc. I think it was mostly to get settled in Baruch as I want to transfer as soon as possible to get the major I want elsewhere. I guess the experience made my time here in Baruch a tad bit easier to settle in though.
