Last week, I went to the Major and Minor fair to get a better understanding of different majors and minors that Baruch is offering.

Before going to the fair, I was indecisive about my major. I was between Finance and accounting. I had several conversations with different advisers, and they helped me to understand and decide which major I really want. Also, for the minor, they explained to me how to declare a minor and what classes I should take.

Finally, I talked to an adviser from the STARR. She told me how to build my resume and get internships, and  also it is good for freshmen to start to get involved in on campus activities. Importantly, we should visit the STARR website because it provides all information that we need.

I am happy that I attended this fair. Otherwise, I would be still struggling with deciding my major and minor.

Last sunday, several classmates and I visited The Rubin Museum. It was a great experience. The museum projected two different worlds to us. The outlook of the museum was modern and contemporary, but when we walked in it was a really sacred place. It currently has an exhibition of Himalayan arts that illustrates spirituality, social life, devotion and self-expression. All pieces of art are based on Hinduism and Buddhism.

There were plenty of unique and wonderful pieces of art that we can only find in this museum. However, what I liked the most was a video that is called Shravanabelabola. The video showed people were pouring milk, pigments, flower petals and other substances over a massive stone icon as a ritual practice. That was amazing, and it is something new for me.

Finally, we really enjoy visiting The Rubin Museum. I hope everyone can get a chance to go there if you are curious about Asian art. It is just a few  blocks away from Baruch.

Thank you!!!
