Before choosing to attend Baruch, I was worried that I would not have so much to do on campus. Many people would constantly tell me that Baruch is really only a commuter school and that there is nothing you can do to have fun. I decided to look into clubs and events to find ways to get more out of Baruch. I first began my search by thinking of which clubs or events would interest me the most. I was happy to hear that there was a painting event because I enjoy painting. When I attended the event I was able to meet a lot of new people and make new friends. The painting event was able to help me make friends with people who have similar interests to mine. I have such a large gap between my classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My break from 11:35 to 2:55 leaves me looking for tasks to pass time. Events such as the painting event will help me get through my day. Rather than sleeping in the library or watching videos on my phone, I would love to have hobby that gives me things to do. Because I was able to meet new people at the painting event, I was able to learn more things about Baruch and how to manage my time correctly. I learned more about other things to do on campus and off campus. Some people have “get togethers” after school where groups of kids get to know each other better and are able to get school work done together. I was also able to learn more about places to go for lunch. I did not know that there was a Chipotle close by and it is one of my favorite places to go and get food. This event definitely taught me things that will help me get through my first semester at Baruch.
