I went to Baruch Voices on November 2nd during club hours with a couple of friends from my first year block, Ben and JJ. One of the challenges we came across was finding where the Multipurpose Room was, all we knew was that it was on the first floor. We eventually found the room (coincidently the same room our orientation was held) and immediately took a picture with the Baruch Voices sign before the performances began since it was a nice background. We took our seats and sat back to enjoy the monologues that were to be given. I would like to give credit to all the performers who were able to stand up in front of everyone (most who were strangers to them) since I wouldn’t have the confidence to do so. The monologues ranged from topics like the food around us to the commute. It would’ve been awesome to see Rascience (the winner from our first year block) perform his monologue because it had my whole class laughing. To sum up all the performances I got to see, I was surprised to see that each of the students’ experiences at Baruch so far was unique even though it’s only been two months. Also, these were the best of the best since only one out of twenty (maybe more) monologues were chosen, so it was entertaining throughout. Similar to my first blog at MOMA, I said that creative expression isn’t my favorite thing in the world, but I can honestly say that I did enjoy the atmosphere and performances. It also helped that I wasn’t watching them on my own. It would be interesting to see even more perspectives of new students. This may encourage me to attend the following year’s Baruch Voices in which a next set of monologues will be given.
