On Thursday, Sep 7th, I decided to go check out the accounting club because I didn’t have any class around 12 p.m on that day. While I was waiting outside the meeting room, A dude came up and started talking to me, we started to introduce ourselves to each other, I learned that he’s name is Bhavik, and he was there to check out the club too. We briefly talked about major and reasons why we came to this meeting. At first I wasn’t sure how to explain it because I was not that passionate about joining the accounting club, but one thing he said was inspiring, “Well, at least we have some interest in this accounting club or else we wouldn’t be here.” I realized that it’s not about which club to join but try whatever you are interested in. Minutes after we got inside the room, Bhavik introduced me to another dude he knew that was also at that general interest meeting, Sam, it was surprising to me that neither of them is freshmen. After everybody settled down, the club members started to introduce themselves to us, and since it was the first general interest meeting, we started off with an ice breaker where we had to look at a zoomed in picture and guess what it is. I grouped up with Sam and Bee, a nickname I call him and formed a team of 4 and we each give our own opinion, but since it was just a game, we started joking around and guessing silly things. Total of 18 pictures were shown, and the club president announced that there were 2 winning teams, and ironically we are one of them, we gladly accepted the price of 2 pens and a bag of chocolates, and the meeting went on. The members started explaining different fields and areas that the club is involved in, and we can pick one we are interested in to join. Bee, Sam and me all decided to join the planning committee, and that was about it, met two cool guys and had a lot of fun on the first general interest meeting of the Baruch Accounting Society. Oh, one thing I forgot to mention, their food/pizzas and cookies were more than enough for everybody compare to the few clubs I went before, but I wasn’t hungry at that time tho :P.
