On Thursday September 14th I found myself once again in the packed room VC 9-117, pulled by my love of anime and curiously. The week prior I joined to get myself more involved in the Baruch culture, to begin to look at clubs in the campus. This is my first and only so far, but as my first I am glad I have chosen this one to give the first impression as a freshman still bubbling with excitement and the overwhelming chains of the new environment and culture as a whole. This club in it self may sound very nerdy but, this particular group of people are much different. Ranging from 40-50 of passionate, creative and energetic young unique individuals it draws me in, tempting me to become more familiar with everyone. People enter as if all the weight of college or personal stress is lifted off their shoulders, a smile spreading across their face. A sense of belonging with others that share other interests as you in a room that have many different college years under their belt, yet still feel equal no matter what serves a unique significance not easily found. I enjoy environments where there is no shame for what you love and how you go about your ways to feel truly happy.
On that particular Thursday afternoon, it was Game day, an intriguing and interesting activity that focused on our knowledge of anime. I was still very shy and I hope to break that bubble and become more connected with others. There were four groups, and a dice was rolled from 1-5, while all groups were able to answer any correct got points. In the winning number four group I found myself quite struggling to get the answers of some. but overall, it was a great, and interesting experience.
