I completed a task under the student life category and I joined the Accounting Society. I joined by accident but I met people who had different majors than I did. Since everyone’s major was in math as opposed to my liberal arts Psychology major, I didn’t get a lot of advice on what I could do specifically regarding psychology but I did get insight into other concentrations. Not only did Accounting society give me a new perspective on academics, but I met new people that I otherwise would have never spoken to in the hallways or common areas. I met upperclassmen and they gave me advice on my academic career and how to get the most out of my time at Baruch both socially and academically. As a psychology major in a room full of math majors, I also couldn’t help but analyze everyone in the room and notice their similarities as accounting and finance majors. One thing that I noticed was that everyone wasn’t exactly the most enthusiastic about their major, nonetheless they were still loyal to it and still wanted to spend their free time around other people who have the same aspirations that they do. This taught me that I don’t necessarily have to like my major (even though I do) to be successful in it. Joining accounting club also gave me a new appreciation for the math that I do have to do now. Meeting people who basically immerse themselves in math gave me a newfound understanding of why math is important. Knowing people that have a passion for mathematics humanizes it and makes it seem less pointless and boring to me. In addition to an appreciation of math, I also gained a network of support that I know I can go to in case I need help in math or even other classes.
