When I walked into the general interest meeting for Lexicon the first thing I noticed was the excitement in the room. Usually upperclassmen try and seem superior to the underclassmen however it was evident through their vibrant personalities that they wanted to promote inclusivity and actually help underclassmen assimilate to the new college environment. As the member started talking about their participation and role in Lexicon it was clear that they are extremely passionate about what they do. This is what really got me interested in finding out what Lexicon is and what my role can be if I do decide to join, something that seems really likely right now. What spoke to me the most was the marketing aspect of Lexicon. I want to major in corporate communications so learning how to promote and present Lexicon would provide me with a good foundation for the future. Joining the marketing team will also help me meet new people in Baruch College and actually make friends with people other than my classmates. Another team that sounded interesting was the finance team. The director of this team seemed really happy and excited with what he does which made me excited in it too. However, when he mentioned that finance is the only department that needs to complete paperwork I leaned more towards marketing. I would actually like to attend more meeting and eventually just join the team because it seems like a very fun and productive environment to be in. Instead of just wasting my three hour breaks doing nothing or just eating, I could be doing something useful with my time, like participating in Lexicon. Especially as a freshman, it is important to get involved in clubs as early as possible, as the Lexicon members told me, and I think this would be the best fit for me.
