For my first blog post, I chose to use a photo from the USG welcome week party. I chose to go to this event really because I wanted to see what it would be like. I had never been to a Baruch party before so this was my first try. I wanted to go with friends so that I wouldn’t be lonely. While chatting with friends over lunch, we decided to go to the party together! Since it was a Thursday night, it was our last day of classes for the week, we had a pile of homework to do. After classes we went to the library to work on homework. Since I was going to have a really busy weekend, I wanted to finish as much homework as I could. At around six o’clock, we decided to leave the library and walk to the Newman Vertical Campus. After waiting and chatting on line to enter, we got on line for burgers and soda since we were all famished. When we walked in holding our plates and cups, we weren’t sure where to go, or much of the people in the room. We were standing by the bar stools and ate our burgers and sipped our sodas while somehow chatting over the blasting music. It was so loud, we could barely hear the people that were standing next to each other. The burgers were pretty small so it didn’t take us long to finish them. Once we were done, we met different people that were there and started chatting with people. We got to take a selfie before it got too dark in the room. Throughout the night I was meeting new people and making new friends throughout the night. I ended up reconnecting with a girl from my middle school. We recognized each other but had never really spoken before, but when we met each other, we seemed very familiar. Then as we spoke we realized we had tons of mutual friends and interests. Its funny because ever since that night, she and I talk so much too! We talk about homework and our weekends, and even just what happens in our daily lives. As we became more comfortable throughout the night, my friends and I eventually started dancing and jumping around. It was really fun, after about an hour of dancing, we started getting really tired and also really hot. After a short break and some water, my friends and I went back in for some more fun. Then after some more dancing and getting to know more people, I started getting really tired. It had been a long and very eventful day and I was ready to crash. So a little while before the party ended I ended up walking out with some friends that I had met. It had been a really fun night and I was really happy that I had gone to the party. I made a lot of new friends and I was able to reconnect with someone from middle school. I was ready to go home and crash in my bed from after all this fun!
