So when it comes to “career,” I feel like I’m completely lost. I don’t have a great idea of what I want to be in a couple of years. I don’t have a resume, nor do I really have any internship experience. So that means I have a LOT of work to do in the next few years. What I can do for a start is sign up for STARR and set up an appointment for a meeting, which I have done already. I’m probably going to ask about how to start up myself and make it easier for myself to make money in the future. To be honest, its actually pretty scary and frightening to think about as of right now, but similar to a project or a test, it will come up and I’d have to deal with it sooner or later

Another thing I’d like to talk about is how horrible the class selection system is for a freshman. Seeing my classmates get nice classes, while I two days later, pick from the scraps, I don’t think it’s really fair. There’s nothing I can do but to accept it and just stay optimistic. Hey, if the classes are crazy hard, I guess I would be used to it by the time everyone has hard classes. I’d be more prepared for those hard classes. If my GPA is in danger, I’ll just work harder and probably get rid of my social life and focus on school. Anything it takes right?

 

Being that our college is Baruch, and we didn’t have much to do during our break, Eli, Isaac and I visited the game room. I was not completely thrilled with the game room, knowing that other colleges, such as Lehigh has an ACTUAL game room. I figured that it would do because of the three main things they had in there: foosball, ping pong, and pool. The room was very small, but the people in there were pretty alive and cool. The music was not good, but the room was clean and somewhat decorated. Since I went with Eli and Isaac, I mainly talked with them, but I also met some other people that were enjoying themselves. To be honest, I actually enjoyed the experience a bit because of the atmosphere that I exposed myself to. It felt like the college experience that I should be getting.

So what happened was that I was playing against Isaac in pool, which was really hard to get a spot in, but we managed. And we ended up having lots of fun. I then played Eli, and unfortunately lost, but I really liked the experience. After playing pool, we went on to play foosball, which was also tons of fun. Baruch may not have the lit stuff, but with friends and a small and cozy room such as the game room, we can make it lit. Overall, this was a great way to get involved in student life, and next time, I won’t hesitate to join a club, or come have fun in the game room with my friends, or just with total strangers. I feel that because of places and events like these, my life here won’t be as boring. To meet new people will help me get comfortable in this school.
