Freshman Seminar Fall 17 BWB

Academic advisement

I feel like erverhone knows what they want to do here. I have no idea what I’m doing I’m just going with the flow at the moment. So many things go wrong I kind of just gave up but I know the next few years will be filled with questions. I didn’t even want to do business when I applied here but I kind of just limited myself to it. The longer I stay here the more I imagine myself becoming a business woman or an overall successful person. What helped me was the academic advisement session. Although it was an hour long wait for a 5 minute conversation, it was really helpful and shows me an ounce of my high school life where the staff truly wanted me to do well. Shoutout to that guy that helped me. Made me feel as if I wasn’t as alone as I actually feel. I hope I find a good path to take throughout my college career.

Club meeting

Since i didn’t have much school spirit in high school, I decided i should be more involved in my college. It is a new school after all, I need to get to know Baruch more. So far, I’m liking college. I went to a club meeting for student government and forced my friends to join me. I mainly went for the food, but i ended up liking the vibe. What really caught my attention was the homecoming committee. My high school was in the Bronx so it was too ghetto to have homecoming and the types of parties you see in movies. I was intrigued by usg I actually think i am going to join! yay!

An interview on my third week of school…

I have no school spirit at all, but I still wanted to join a club that allowed me to meet new people and have new experiences. I heard about WIB from a friend and decided it was worth a shot. The general interest meeting went great, (partly because they gave food) and of course I was clumsy enough to spill the orange juice everywhere. Even though I already made a bad impression in the first 5 minutes, I still decided to apply. This led to several emails and once I found out they wanted to interview me, I panicked. I am not the type of person who does well in interviews since I stutter a lot and can ramble on for days without making any sense. I awkwardly answered any questions they had and as soon as I left the room, I had a feeling they weren’t interested, but it’s okay because if they actually say no, I’d just join another one, preferably without an interview.
