The name of the event was called ” Exploring Fields in Marketing ” which was held on March 30 2017. There was a similar one that i went to on the mid oof Feburary which was held by Markers of Baruch. The events were similar which i actually liked. The event talked about the different fieds in marketing. To be honest, my main reason behind going there was for the food. There were guest speakers who were talking about the different types of problems they faced inordered to be in the position they at right now. The thing i liked about the event was meeting new people that were lso interested in marketing. Not everyone’s major was marketing, some people i met, their major was finance, international business, etc. Towards the end, they let us ask questions that they answered for us.

Post #3(Career)
I believe that career is one of the most important pieces of each person’s life. Before Baruch College, I would work different jobs, some internships, in order to build up a strong foundation of hard work; of course, some would work and some would not. One day, to my luck, I stumbled into the Starr Career Development Center during walk-in hours and they helped me get a true understanding of hard work. The fact that this was my first meeting means that I need more time to truly experience and understand what they helped me with, but I think that the more I return to Starr Career Development Center Workshop they can help me reach my goals even faster. The people in Starr Career Development Center Workshop that were working at the time were very nice and whenever i’d I have any question about starting my career and building my foundation they would always be very patient and take their time to give the best answer possible. Starr Career Development Center is a good place to go to for help when you start worrying about your future; I will definitely visit again.
Taking Advantage of the Writing Center (Academic)
I had two essays to write, one for English (compare&constrast essay) and one for Sociology (book report on “Unequal Childhoods” by Annette Lareau). For each, it took me two days to complete it. I’m the type of person that when I have to hand in an essay or any written work, I MUST reread it several times and have others reread it several times, just to make sure that there are no mistakes and that my point is clearly getting across. The problem, in this case, was that I had no one worthy enough to reread my essay’s. And by that, I mean that my sister was on a trip for the week, my brother was staying w/ my dad for the month, and my mother isn’t from here so she might not understand everything that I’m writing. That’s when I decided to go to the writing center for the first time. Honestly, I think imma go again. They really helped me out and advised me in areas I thought I was set in. I really feel as if my entire way of writing just reached a whole new level of greatness.
Exploring Fields in Marketing (Career)
Honestly, the food alone was enough for me, but it was nice to see/talk to people who are currently in the business of marketing. Walking in, they were telling us their stories on how they got to their positions today and talking about the obstacles they faced if any. I liked how they were straight forward and told us exactly what it was (is); no bs. Hearing their individual/unique views were kind of interesting. They just proved that there isn’t one set path to being successful in what you want. There’s so many ways, so many networks, so many outlets. They touched on a couple things that can help begin our career. One lady even offered us a paid internship if we were interested. At the end of the original questions, they let us ask a few questions of our own. The only question that came to mind was “How much money do you make?”, ” In a month? … in a year?”.
Zannatul Noor (Social)
A few weeks back, my friend and I attended the G.L.A.S.S open mic night at the Brauch’s Barnes and Nobles. The club is an organization based for LGBTQ+, but all are welcome. Though it started at 6 pm, to my surprise many people showed up. Few went up on stage and performed. The performers were able to do skits, poems, songs, and address issues they have personally dealt with. The host of the evening addressed what heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual meant and the importance of expressing one’s self and finding oneself in their unique ways. Performers further discussed the gender norms that one has to follow and the expectations from family or even society. But breaking through that should not be seen as something shameful. They also brought up the Kinsley Scale which determines what sexuality a person falls under. The unique experiences each individual have. Asides from the serious discussions, the club provided great music and food. At the end, everyone just got to sit around and talk to one another about their own experience, so even those that didn’t go own stage felt like they had a voice.
The MET
I have visited the MET. The MET is a museum of art, it was a incredible experience. The music was humongous and it wasn’t a lot to gat in; I just paid 5 dollars. My visit there was more of a class trip for my art history class. As I arrived, I was didn’t have to carry my thing all over the museum; there was a coat check to leave my coat and bag. When I got the chance to look at many pictures my mind blow. There was art pieces for Greek, Rome, Italian and many more. S
ome of the art pieces were older the 100 year, makes you think of how art was able to exist in one piece. I took many of the pictures and each painting had a different story to tell. One was the “Virgin and child”, showing the live of people’s beliefs at that period of time. I hope more people will go.
