Taking a SACC tutoring session over the weekend really helped me get back on track in academics (mainly the dreaded mathematics). The tutors/advisers there were really patient and helpful and seemed to know what they were teaching. The fact that they were also students who have taken the course is in a strange way a confidence boost in itself, knowing that they have also been through the struggles I am now currently going through. They understood that calculus and math in general is a stressful and important subject at Baruch and they surprisingly made understanding the subject matter quite easy on top of everything else.

A few weeks ago I attended Baruch’s Got Talent, which was basically a big talent show. I went with a friend and although I wasn’t able to stay til the end it was still interesting to see all the faces that were willing to put themselves out there for all to see. There was the usual singing and dancing routines that were to be expected at these things but there were also some people who mixed it up by doing jump roping, spoken word/poetry, and other interesting acts. They had some judges there that seemed to know what they were talking about and had experience with these things. All in all, it was an interesting experience and I’m glad I went.

I was excited when I found out that we have an e-sports club, I didn’t expect it to be as lively as it was. Everyone there is mostly friendly so it’s hard to be shy unless you try really hard to be. I also didn’t really expect it to be as crowded as it sometimes is but that’s a fun time in itself really. It’s hard to find bad things in a club where everyone just wants to chill and play video games all day. Also, apparently they ordered a bunch of high end gaming computers so that’s something to be excited about (getting destroyed in 300 fps 1080p is always fun). I do wish we were able to meet more often but that’s something that’s not too much of an issue. Here you can see Kevin showing off his card witchcraft, too spooky.
