Arielle LeJarde: Encrichment Workshop

The enrichment workshop was a surprisingly enlightening experience. Going to Baruch, I’ve been told by several people that it’s a school where you go to class, get your work done, and go home – but I wanted to make much more of the “college experience.” I told myself I would get involved in numerous things at Baruch, but I didn’t and the enrichment workshop taught me that it’s never too late. Just because Baruch is a commuter school, it doesn’t mean we can’t make these four, five, or six years a “traditional college experience.” The clubs are always prominent and recruiting and there are many opportunities available here at Baruch, but they aren’t just going to be handed to us. We must go out and take it. The enrichment workshop inspired us to be leaders. Just because our friends or family don’t believe that Baruch can give us that “college experience,” it doesn’t mean we have to follow their words. College is what we make out of it, so we might as well try and make the best out of it, get involved, and explore the things we are passionate about.
