I went to the “No Major No Problem” event hosted by STARR. It started off with a quick presentation debunking career and major myths such as a one track career or your major dictates your career. After the presentation we had a quick set up of FOCUS 2 and proceeded to take assessments such as interests and personality assessments. These tests are use to find the best careers suited for you. I ended up deciding to major in entrepreneurship.

Student Life: Club Fair
To be honest, The club fair felt rather underwhelming. It was held at the main gym and supposedly all the clubs were supposed to be there. You see frats, “enter race or religion here ” Club, “Enter business major” club. I was primarily looking for the archery and Absolute Adrenaline club. I did find other clubs I am interested in so it isn’t all in vain.

Blog post One!: Vark Quiz!
Fist blog post is about my experience with the VARK quiz in the freshman seminar class. Well to start it off, Neil Fleming is the creator of this quiz. VARK is an acronym for Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic. This quiz tells you how you like to learn and whether you have a preference to a given media. My preference seems to be visual. I agree because if a class that doesn’t include a clear visual aspect will be very boring to me. One of my classes is a lecture in the most literal term and it honestly bores me. The teacher drones on about the subject and i can’t help but sleep. When the lecturer presents videos then I perk up and begin absorbing information. Outside of the classroom and into a dojo, I recently went to a free bujinkan class which consist primarily visual and kinesthetic elements. You look at how the instructor does it and the endless variations of the same movement. Kinestheic in the fact that I am learning by performing the moves and having the move being performed on me. Kind of sucks when you know that a 90 pound person can down you in seconds. It is also scary to see a 6 foot plus muscle bound motorcycle riding type of guy duking it out with a shorter, equally packed with muscle bodybuilder. Anyway, This quiz is beneficial so people can understand how receptive they are to various media of learning.
