Recently this past Thursday I attended one of the many Latinx heritage month events hosted at Baruch. The event was Family Feud: Latin edition. The questions varied from “popular Latin pop star” to ” What did your mom use to hit you with”. I had no idea what to expect first walking in, but i was hit by a storm once it got started. The immediate liveliness was delightful. The energy that the contestants had translated itself to the audience. The room was filled to the brim with that same energy. Once a question was answered a sea of tension filled the air, then the answer would be revealed followed by a lot of disappointing groans or a rush of joy and happiness.
The people that took part were clubs such as USG and LASO there was also audience participation. As the night went on there was more enthusiasm that came about and I could feel myself getting sucked in. I met a senior named Zain and he was very energetic and is majoring in digital media. I did not know what to expect but I am by the end I was very excited although I left early I would like to have know how it ended. Even though it a a Latin heritage event there was a diverse group of people, much like Baruch is. Baruch being very diverse is a great thing to see. This experience was great and I hope to have many more.
