Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DTC

Majors/Minors Festival

So I spent my last blog post at the Majors/Minors festival. There was a lot of tables around and I wasn’t able to get to all of them, however, I was able to to check out the Journalism and Theater table. They gave me a lot of information and insight as to what they go over during this course and I found it very helpful. The professor at the Theater table even referred me to a play that was going to be happening at BPAC so that was exciting to know. Despite still not being able to determine my major, I had a fun, educating time at the Majors/Minors festival!

M.E.T

The Metropolitan Museum Of Art, or MET for short, was a very interesting experience for me. I visited the World War I visual arts exhibit, which showed a large amount of old paintings and pictures that narrated life during World War I. Despite it being a rather small exhibit, it contained a lot of pretty interesting paintings and pictures such as Liverpool Shipping, Aerial view Of Vaux in France, and the Bacchanates. The exhibit was relatively quiet so there wasn’t much room to talk or observe out loud, but I found the pictures and descriptions beneath the pictures quite interesting. Overall, it was a calm experience for me and I thought it was really chill.

 

E-Sport G.I.M

So I checked out the G.I.M for the E-Sports club last Thursday. From what I saw, it seemed pretty entertaining. They had a large number of games for all the kids to play and from the amount of hands that went up in the room, it seems like a lot of the kids would enjoy themselves in the club. They seemed like they were still figuring things out, but that makes sense because it is their first meeting after all. I didn’t really expect anything too crazy for the first meeting. They brought up that they had two sides mainly, one for casual gaming and one for competitive gaming. I thought that was pretty nice because it’s able to separate those who really want that intense competitive feeling and those who are just there to chill. The staff of the club also seemed really cool. In fact, one of its members won a championship and got 10,000 from it! I think that highlights how far you can really go with the E-Sports club. They all seemed like cool people. The best part of it though was definitely when they brought in the pizza. It seemed like everybody was pretty hype about the pizza so I guess that makes sense. Some of those kids were low-key starving. They brought in 4 boxes too! They really weren’t playing around with food, that’s for sure. Overall, it seemed pretty nice and the people definitely seemed really chill.
