Last week I attended the majors and minors fair with a group of friends and found that the fair was not only interesting, but helpful too. I felt that the fair was helpful to many freshman’s, because many of us have undecided majors and the fair probably made us interested in some majors we’ve never thought about. Although I already have a major in mind, I was looking for a minor. Personally, I felt that the displays they had at the fair caught my attention the most. When I first walked in, the photography display caught my attention, so I walked up and asked about the photography minor. The representative for the photography minor was super nice and helpful. Even though photography was something I found super cool, I never thought I would be interested in becoming a photographer, but after the different introductions and talks the representative gave, I started to consider it. Although I talked to the photography representative, I also went around and talked to the management major, science majors and etc. In my opinion, I really liked the fair and I felt that it opened me up to varies kinds of minors. Now I’m deciding whether I should peruse a language minor or a photography minor. I would highly recommend this to incoming freshman’s, since it helped a wide range of people. The only thing I would change about the fair is to host it in the gym, since the area it was hosted in got super crowded in a short time period. Overall, I was satisfied by the fair and it allowed me to find other possible careers.

On October 8th, I visited the Museum of Mathematics. This museum was not free to attend, but on Sundays it is. As you can tell from the name of the museum, it focus mainly on math. In my opinion, people who are interested in math should visit this museum; even if you’re not interested in math you can still go to see the amazing displays they have there. When I first stepped in the museum I could already see an enormous display of a spiral. That really caught my attention, but the more I looked around the more interesting it became. One of my favorite display was a display of fractals. Fractals are super hard to understand, but when you look at the patterns in them they are super amazing.  Just imagine looking at a mountain; the closer you look at the rigid edges you’ll see patterns repeating; this is an example of a fractal. Math is super interesting to me and has always been my favorite subject. Going to this museum allows you to see the true world of math instead of solving problems. I really find it amazing that such museum exist and I would definitely go back or recommend this museum to my friends.

On September 2, I attended the Vietnamese Student Association Club. I would recommend this club to people who are trying to experience different cultures or people who are interested in Southeast Asian cultures. VSA is a super cool club to join in my opinion, since they were super wild since day one. I attended this club with my friends and we all felt that the club was welcoming and it’s always packed. VSA wasn’t just a club where you sit and learn about the culture, since they had spring roll day; where you learn to make spring rolls. In my opinion, I really enjoyed my time at VSA and I wish more people could attend. Although VSA was amazing, the amount of people there was crazy. I really liked the big crowd, but I also disliked it because it was super hot and crowded. Anyone who’s interested in culture should go or you can go for the food. – Lets go VSA!!!!
