Hey guys, I am a little late with this but that is my fault being that I lost the papers/flyers I had received from the Study/Internship Abroad fair. I went because I knew opportunity would strike me there. For as long as I have known about studying abroad, I knew that is what I wanted to do in college. I am so happy to know that I can with just a click of my finger. 

Here are one of the more boring flyers but I felt it was pretty standard for an explanation of what being an intern abroad means. The whole aim of “The Intern Group” is to bring programs for students that provide them with professional opportunities that can help students find who they might want to be or to give them their full experience of the profession they want to go in, with the beauty of just travelling. Although this flyer is about being an intern, what I really want to do is study abroad. I love learning and being able to learn new things everyday. It is definitely one of the better things about actually going to school in the morning. But to get the privilege to go to a different country and see new things as well as learn new things, it is so interesting! And that is what I got to see at the fair, just how simple Baruch allows students to get what they want and when they want it.

Hey everyone. Over the weekend, I went to the American Museum of Natural History with my sister. I specifically went to see all the animals of course. This museum is actually my favorite museum of all time, and I LOVE museums. Anyway, the Natural History Museum has a lot of biodiversity and ecosystems, artifacts and props, everything you need to know about earth and it’s beautiful creatures and wonders. It is not your traditional museum with just paintings and sculptures, it is innovative, educational, informative, and overall such a fun museum. They even had a mummies and tombs (my obsession, I literally grew up watching documentaries on King Tut, the pyramids, and of course fossils and artifacts, my absolute favorite part of history) exhibit but I did not go because you had to pay separately and it was big bucks to get in. I got so lost in seeing all the exhibits and all the animal species that I almost forgot to take a picture. In this picture is a (sadly very little left) deer. This is the skeleton of the “Irish Elk”, the biggest deer there is on planet earth. The best thing about this deer are the antlers of course, as tall as me. Their scientific name is Megaloceros giganteus, the “giant horn”. Basically these deers lived through the last Ice Age, along with everyone’s favorite (or maybe just mine), Mammoths. They were able to survive the cold temperatures during the Ice Age and make it to Southern Europe, mostly in Ireland peaks. Overall, amongst all the beautiful animals I saw on my visit, I took a picture with this one, which I do not regret, just my hair and lip color choice. I encourage everyone to go to this museum and see all the earth has to offer. It is donation based, and so much walking since they literally have everything cool to ever exist on this planet. If you actually read this, thank you. Lastly, go to this museum! They literally have everything! Space, humans overtime, environments and a GIANT WHALE.

Hi everyone, pretty sure you all know me because we are all in the same FRO, but if you don’t, I’m Sarah and I am a biology/natural science major. I always help those in need, human or animal, and I think it is very important to help those who need it the most. Putting a smile on someone’s face or keeping them warm by donating one of your sweaters to a clothes drive is such a vibrant feeling that everyone should experience at least once. I always donate to charity organizations and I am a member of ASPCA. I always participate in protests and pledges for animals, but I have never joined an organization that helps children and families. When I found out there was a UNICEF club/organization at Baruch, I signed up right away. I got an email about their first general interest meeting and I RSVP’d.

I attended the meeting and it was cool. They explained that they like to help as much as they can, as well as I. They organize events, charities, and they also do partnerships/sponsorships to help raise money. I signed up to join the club and I honestly do not know how this whole thing works. I have no idea if I need to be accepted in or me attending the meetings and being active in the club means I’m in, I don’t know. But I am going to be active and participate in UNICEF and see where that takes me. I am very excited to see what will happen in the future and allowing this club to help me do the charity I’ve always wanted to do!
