Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DTG

Major/minor fair

I attended the majors and minors fair Thursday, November 9. I really didn’t want to do this but I had no choice. While I was there, I might as well try to learn as much as my major so I approached the Finance table. They informed me about the differences about finance and accounting, and how hard it is going to be trying to get a job. Not going to lie, it was an in and out thing so I didn’t spend much time, but it was enjoyable for the little time I spent there.

Club Fair 2017

Last week or two weeks ago, I went to the club fair. There isn’t much fun to do at the school, but I decided to check out if any clubs were worth my time. There were many clubs, but none really caught my eye. I could see myself joining the Wall Street Club when I’m a junior, but don’t want to join any now. All the clubs are very serious and I feel like I would make the dopest clubs. My first idea would be the Party Club. Every 3rd Friday of a month, we would do a pay to enter party from 10-2am at the Baruch College gym. With the original funds and those we get from each party, we would be able to sustain for at least a semester. I feel that that would be the next level club where a lot of people would sign up.

Brooklyn Museum – Carl

This weekend, I went to the Brooklyn museum for the Freshman Seminar assignment. I do not really like museums, but I thought the  Brooklyn Museum was one of the best options. Also, it was 20 minutes walking distance from my house so it was the easiest to go to. Getting there was an easy walk and the weather was nice that day. The day before, I realized that its going to be my first time and I did not want to go alone, so I asked a couple of other freshman if they wanted to come. A couple of them agreed and we decided to meet up in front of the staircase. I arrived a lot earlier than everyone even if I was barely on time because of my short commute while there had to take the train. I’m not a museum type of guy so  I didn’t really expect much from it. I was able to explore the whole museum in about 30 to 40 minutes. Although it looks really big outside, it really is not. The second floor was closed  due to maintenace so that’s the only thing I did not get to see that. At first, it was a little cool, but the hype died down after 5 minutes. Things started t get kind of repetitive and I realized that I put my hopes too high. I felt like there were too many written things and videos and not enough visuals. A good thing was that there were not too many people so it was pretty easy to move around. Other than that, the museum was filled with a lot of ancient Egyptian artifacts which I didn’t like much. Two things I did like were a painting of a bald eagle and a bicycle from the 1970s. Overall the trip to the museum was alright, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to again.
