There are hundreds clubs to choose from at Baruch. I attended a club that pertained to my interests of become more physically fit. The club was called Absolute Adrenaline. This club specializes in out of school events like Go-Karting, Hiking, and most importantly Paintballing. It also focuses on maintain our well being while having fun completing rigorous physical activities. We started playing a game of Chief where we copied the leader’s movements and helped us learn other people’s names. It was fun to see people laugh after the leader was caught because it was obvious they weren’t good leaders. Then the club leaders talked about the purpose of the club and really hyped up their paintball event which is their landmark event. Then the club members told us we could plan our own events one day if we apply to a leadership position. What I enjoyed most is that club members and club leaders can brainstorm more outrageous activities that will only add more entertainment and adventure.
This event was a great use of my time because I encountered people with all walks of life with a variety of majors. There were at least 30-40 people who attended the interest meeting. It was nice seeing so many people; even a familiar face who I haven’t seen in four years. It was also nice to see they had Baked Ziti, Chocolate and Macadamia Chip Cookies, and a nice Caesar Salad. The club leaders were extremely nice and helped us suscribe to their club’s website. For the rest of my time, I talked to people about their reasoning behind coming to the Interest Meeting. There were some who are doing to alleviate the academic burdens they endure while others are simply just doing it for fun.
I will most definitely attend their next General Meeting and encounter more physical activists who share common interests with me. I’m also interested joining other club like the Italian Club, Spanish Heritage Club, and U.S.G. I hope this is just the beginning of me participating in student life for the next 4 years at Baruch.
