For my last event to attend, it had to be student life related. To be completely honest, I looked forward to this category of events the least because to me CUNY schools are not going to be that fun being in NYC. NYC is only really fun of you’re over the legal drinking age. Any who, I was in a scram because per usual, I waited until last minute to complete the assignment. Had to do it Thursday because Friday I had no classes and had to go to work. One of the last events happening at Baruch prior to this assignment, and all of the other assignments deadlines was a luncheon held by a Christian group at Baruch, I forget the name. A sweet girl named Tony practically ran me over at the escalators telling me to go, thankfully and she probably doesn’t even know she saved me from a literal fail. I waited on the line for nearly 20 minutes after the event was supposed to start, and made small chit chat in line while I waited because I was by myself. Apparently, nearly any person I conversed with was a junior or senior and first of all, their skin care routines must be bomb because I thought we were all freshman and secondly, they were mad approachable. I made it very clear while checking in that I had no clue what I was doing and the girls were really sweet about it. They were really directional and made sure to keep the line moving despite the fact that I was lost. I got the chance to make a care package for the homeless, which I had completely forgotten about in my own first year college going through life madness. This is the time to give! In each care package, every student got the opportunity to write their very own note to the person who received it which I thought was cute. We all crave a human interaction and I think it’s important to give that to people who feel forgotten about. I went into the actual event and listened to a speaker, who helped humble me and gave me encouraging words to finish the semester as strong as I could. I listened to a praise song and even played human Bingo, a kid from my FYS class one the free metro card which was super dope. Unfortunately I had class and had to scram, and literally almost forgot to take a picture! The people I asked to take photos were super understanding once I explained what they were for because everyone just LOVES the requirements for FYS!!

and that’s all folks, see ya next time.
