Today, I went to Baruch Voices with my friends Ryan and Ben, since I go basically everywhere with them. It took us sometime to find the room, however, for we were walking around the entire 1st floor until we finally found the room we were supposed to enter. Once that fiasco was over, we went inside and sat down. We then got to hear a bunch of monologues from the students that were skilled enough to move on from their respective seminar class. I found that a lot of the monologues talked about the struggles that the kids faced with College in general. A lot of them complained how annoying commuting was, and how they all hated how some classes were very early. This made me realize that maybe I’m not the only one with problems such as this after all. It turns out that many kids other than me also face these problems, along with others. This made me realize that I’m not alone in college, and that I have plenty of peers that I can relate to with theproblems that I face as well. Some of the monologues were quite humorous, and I really enjoyed listening to a few of them, for they appealed to my sense of humor (thankfully). I was slightly afraid that I wouldn’t have a good time sitting there, listening to all of the students’ monologues, but I ended up having a good time. It also helped that I went with my friends. This career workshop assisted my experience here at Baruch due to the fact that it made me branch out my comfort zone of going home right after class, forcing me to stay at school and see what baruch has to offer for students, which was good. I think that I might stay longer after school now, so that I can see what other events I can attend, whether it be career related or for student life.
