I’ve finally revisited the Metropolitan Museum of Art with some friends on Wednesday. It was an enlightening experience to see all of the artwork and artifacts they had beautifully displayed between the three levels of the museum. I’ve obtained a brief history of everything I saw, including things from places like Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. It is quite an interesting place to visit, better than the AMoNH in my opinion. It gave me and my friends time to explore the city and become familiar with our surroundings. We haven’t visited the museum since middle school so it was great to reminisce about our past experiences.

Making the trek to the museum wasn’t exactly in my book of “To-do’s” but I’m glad I pushed myself to do something adventurous and out of my comfort zone. I do have an interest in joining clubs here at Baruch and it makes me wonder how many things I can actually accomplish if I give myself the push I need to explore different things.  It was also a nice addition that we were allowed free entry because of our Baruch student ID’s and it makes me want to take advantage of other free things offered to me as a CUNY student. Before attending a city college, I was unaware of all the perks and opportunities I had at my finger tips and this particular assignment opened my eyes to more potential.

On a side note, as I got older my love for photography grew and I know that this is a great place to shoot some cool pictures of my friends and I among the artwork. If given an assignment, I know now that I can definitely take a trip to one of the many museums in NYC to do some hands on research and takes some cool pictures!

Whenever you have free time, take the 6 train down to 86th street and thank me later!
