Freshman Seminar Fall 17 DWC

Blog post #3- Career

          It has been about 3 moths at Baruch and I have just finished my midterms. Road to final tests so Yayy! As the time passed by , a sense of declaring a major popped up in my mind. Apparently, I have not declared a major as I still don’t know which career is suitable for me. I had to narrow down my interests but I still can’t figure out by myself what exact path I should take. Fortunately, in my freshman seminar, I was told that I can ask help from Starr Career Development Center for helping me choose the right major for me. I went there even though I did not make an appointment and one guy from Starr came to me and asked if I needed any help. I had a chance to discuss about my career with a counselor and he did help me choose my major, CIS (Data Analytics). Moreover, I made my resume last year but I’ve got no one to check it for me until I got to Starr. I finally got the chance to show my resume to the counselor and he patiently helped me correct it. I felt quite satisfied with the service Starr provided.  After all, I learned that it is completely normal to be undecided about your major and you will always have someone to help you for it in Baruch. Regardless of which academic year you are in, Starr Career is a highly recommended place for every Bearcat. It is totally worth a shot! 

Blog post #2 : Student Life

 

Yep, the club is as interesting as Pepsi on the front.

I believe clubs and organizations are pathways to meet new people and share our diverse opinions and cultures to become an active bearcat. I found myself into colors and photos so Photography club at Baruch is obviously one of my favorite clubs. I went to their General Interest Meeting which is not their first GIM on 10th October. My first impression on Baruch was that the photography club is the smallest club I’ve ever seen. There are officially 5 members in the club which is a good thing for me as small groups can benefit us in a way that we can interact with each other effectively in small discussion-based conversations. The members there are also friendly and helpful. I learn that this club is definitely not like the boring lecture, teaching us details about cameras, focal lengths, ISO but the club targets mainly on how to see the world in different perspectives

Pizza is a must in every club.

and make sure you capture the photos which reflect your heart and feelings. I felt warm and engaged even though I went only one of their GIMs ever since I started school at Baruch. On this weekend, we have a Open House New York which opens the doors of the most important buildings, offering an extraordinary opportunity to experience New York and its astonishing designs and architecture. I’m definitely going there and we will be taking photographs as well as enjoying the art and infrastructure of what the Open house is offering there. I am so excited to be a part of the photography club at Baruch, seeking the knowledge about a particular art and meeting new people who share the same obsession as me.

Blogpost #1- Academic

Me posing in front of the painting called Campbell’s Soup Cans by Andy Warhol.

It all started on the first weekend of Fall 2017 when I went to one of the most modernized museums in New York City. I was not fond of going to museums in my childhood but MoMa, Museum of Modern Art changed my habit. I went there with my sister while she was visiting NYC and we had a lot of unique experiences in MoMa. There was a Frank Lloyd Wright’s exhibition called “Unpacking the Archive” which shows the designs and artifacts of the most prolific and renowned architect in the late 1800s. There are also small building modules and electronic tablets where tourists like us can design and build anything we like. Moreover, we can see paintings by the greatest artists of all time like Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Rousseau and so on. I would say MoMa is a must to experience the truly wonderful abstract art in Manhattan. All of the things I saw inspired and motivated me to seek new knowledge and prospects throughout my entire life.
