the Baruch event tonight was good. Baruch seems to be creative with events. This event was a paint glow in the dark party. I assume they had great food because i arrive and everything was gone. I think baruch needs to pick a better dj to go with there events. If the music isnt good the audience wont react in the proper way. I think baruch needs to also be diverse with the music. It was nice that they had beverages for the legal students that attend their school. It shows they acknowledge the ages at their school. I didnt stay for long because i have hw to do. I even have spring break hw. I feel like im in high school. You get hw every break. I do appreciate the effort because alot of people showed up. That shows you that the marketing team did its job.if young metro dont trust you….
Baruch Voices
I attended the Baruch Voice performance on Thursday. My initial thoughts on my way to the event was that it was going to be such a waste of time. However, from the first performance to the last it was creative and unique. I respect every participant just based on the fact that they had the courage to get up and perform. I learn interesting characteristics from all the performers and I appreciate them allowing us to learn something about them. The performance about Pokémon was hilarious I was not expecting that at all. I learned about some strong women and women who are still growing and finding themselves. Of course I have to be loyal and say the best performance was from my class. Ironically he discussed something we can all agree with. I wish I would have been able to hear people who participated last semester, that would have been interesting.
The irrelevant
I took this pick in Baruch’s mini museum. I went with two of my classmates twice before we actually got the chance to enter the gallery. The most interesting thing about the gallery was the skeletons they had in display. I wanted to understand their importance. Why did they choose these people to hang in their archives? How did they do that contributes to the development of the society that I live in? When I could not answer to these questions I did not pay attention. If I can’t find the purpose of things i stop paying attention. This a problem that I believe most students have in college. The struggle to get a great grade in an uninteresting class is very real. I believe the only way to successfully have a happy life you have to focus on things you actually enjoy doing. Why live a long and miserable life full of regrets when you can live a life with no regrets and great memories.

For the final blog post I went to the Baruch Voices event. This was for my academic post since I had to still do it. While there I listened to a few speeches. They all were quite good, which is probably why they were speaking there. To be honest though the room was really difficult to find. Like, its way off to the side. I would figure it would be held in maybe a classroom or something, since it’s club hour it really wouldn’t matter. Maybe that’s for the future. But seriously, why that room? Anyway while I was there I got to listen to listen to the good speeches and managed to drag my friend along with me. Since this marks the end of freshman seminar, its kind of a bitter sweet end. It will be nice to see the school and not look through it in the mindset of , which events do I still need?
Blog Post #3 Student Life
On Thursday afternoon here at Baruch in the multipurpose room the school hosted “Baruch Voices.” It was a great experience for me to get to know my fellow students better. I got to take a peek into the lives of many Baruch students. I particularly liked Vanessa’s presentation. It was a great experience to bond with my classmates on a more personal level. These events that Baruch hosts are really useful sometimes for students willing to be submerged in student life. Freshman seminar has offered me a lot of opportunities to grow as a freshman and to learn all of the essential things needed to succeed here at Baruch. I’m happy that Freshman Seminar is coming to an end but I’m also upset that I won’t be in such a relaxed environment with my fellow freshmen ever again at Baruch. Ending the course with the memory of Baruch Voices fresh in my mind is a great way to put an end to something very great. Once again Vanessa’s presentation was great!!

On Thursday April 14th I attended Baruch Voices. The room seemed chill with ambient music in the background and pleasantly dimmed lights. We soon sat waiting for the participants to be introduced. For our class FRO DTC Vanessa and Ilias represented us. Ilias went first and gave the same excellent performance he gave in class. I liked his monologue a lot because I could relate to it. Vinny was another participant from a different class and he wrote a poem about his views on society, it was much different than most monologues I’ve heard and I really liked it. My least favorite presentation was the guy who talked about pokemon for what seemed like forever. His piece was on how pokemon has helped him succeed which was really monotonous. In the end I enjoyed the whole event because now I feel more connected to my fellow freshmen and know them a little better than I did before.

Instead of attending an actual career workshop, I chose to attend Baruch Voices for my final blog post. Mostly because it seemed to be the more entertaining option and wouldn’t take up too much time. While waiting for the event to begin, the choice of music played only made me kind of hate being there. That feeling fleeted as soon as it came once the presentations began (primary reason being that the music was turned off). I enjoyed all of the monologues presented and the range of topics touched upon. It was great seeing Vanessa and Illias give their presentations again. There were some touching presentations, a rap, and then there was the monologue about Pokemon. Honestly, I zoned out for a bit throughout the Pokemon piece. It was a lot longer than it really needed to be, considering it was supposed to be no more than 3 minutes. Anyways, I really enjoyed Candace’s commentary given after every presentation, it was one of my favorite parts of the whole thing.

On Thursday, April 14th, I attended the Baruch Voices event, along with fellow students from other Freshman Seminar classes. This event celebrated freshman voices and was ironically held in the same room as freshman orientation. It took place during school hours, making it very easy to attend. The event consisted of eight performances, all very different but all very touching and inspiring. The audience wasn’t hefty however everyone showed huge support for the presenters. Every monologue was different, consisting of themes like loss, independence, love, belief, hardships etc. This was by far my favorite event that I’ve attended at Baruch College, one that I will continue to attend in the future. I admire each person who performed, who had the courage to get up on stage and share a piece of their life and their thoughts with everyone who attended. It was really nice to see how creative people can get when expressing their feelings and how much passion they had while presenting.

For my last blog post I attended Baruch voices on the first floor of the vertical campus building. The Baruch voices was a really fun event to attend. There were various heartfelt and emotional monologues that truly touched my heart. I really enjoyed Vanessa’s and Elias’s excellent presentations. The lighting in the room made it so serene and relaxing. Also the music that was playing prior to the monologues were fantastic choices to get into the mood. I wish more people presented because it was so enjoyable to listen to the monologues. The emotions in the room were hard to absorb because they were so powerful. It was really inspiring to see some of the personal monologues. It must have taken a tremendous amount of courage to present them to an entire audience. Overall it was a great way to get to know people and an enjoyable event. I look forward to the next one.

For my third and final enrichment workshop, I attended Baruch Voices in the multi-purpose room in NVC. I used this event to fulfill the career aspect of the course and honestly, it was a pretty easy task. First things first, the only reason that I attended was because I needed to write this blog post or else I would’ve failed the course. Secondly, I wanted to support two of my friends. However, that monologue about Pokémon and his relationship with Pok-é-mon caught me so off guard. For one thing, it was 15 minutes long (yes, I know I’m exaggerating but let’s be real), it was supposed to be a three minute MAXIMUM limit! Like I was all for hearing his personal saga about Pokémon but I wasn’t mentally ready for the journey itself. Look, we are not a heartless people and we’re all for being positive and uplifting, however when you try to cash in on that positive attitude by reciting a 15 minute long manifesto about Pikachu, I have no other choice but to go on a rant. I am only human. Putting that aside, there were some fairly touching monologues, speeches and some hot fire being spat on that stage. But one thing was made clear on this day, that our freshmen seminar class ain’t shit and will never be shit for as long as we live. We didn’t even cheer when given an on-stage shout out! Anyways, it’s been real guys. *mic drop*
