For my second activity for the freshman seminar, I went to the Finance and Economics Society meeting on Thursday during club hours. I initially joined this club because I had to join one for freshman seminar, but also because economics is my favorite class and I could put it on my resume to impress places that I’m looking at for internships or jobs in the future. To start off the meeting, I introduced myself to some of the club members because I hadn’t been to the club before. I talked to one of the clubs directors who gave me the sign in sheet and told me to put my name and email down to join. He told me that although I had missed that weeks activity of having my resume looked over, that I could still bring it In next week to have it looked over even more. Besides this, I was told that the club talks about economic issues going on around the world, concepts that are taught in certain classes, as well as how the economy affects us daily. For this meeting however, we went over the resumes and as soon as that was done, we then were allowed to talk to one another. I didn’t know anyone else at the meeting so I talked with another freshman at the club, Michael. He turned out to be a very interesting person and we share the common interests of the company Alibaba, sneakers, and the stock market in general since he is an investor as well. Overall, it was very interesting going to the meeting and I look forward to staying with this club for the rest of the year.
