College will be one of the most memorable experiences of your life. During your experience, you’ll find that there is hardly ever a dull moment. With so much going on around you, there are so many options for you to consider. Should I join Flag Football and Reading Club this semester, or push Reading back for a Yoga Class? Better yet, joining all three seems to be a popular option. Even if this doesn’t sound like you now, let me show you why you should take advantage of the variety of Clubs and Activities offered by your College.
The best reason for participating in these activities is that is wards off boredom. Too often college students complain there is nothing to do around campus, “nothing at all” they say. Next time you are near a Student Union look around at all the flyers. Don’t be surprised if you see Boxing, Yoga, Martial Arts, Drawing, Manga, Recycling, International, Reading, Science, Nursing, Chiropractic, Student Enterprise, Dance, Swimming, Running as some options. With more clubs like Poetry, Student Union and Painting, the list keeps on going.
Even if you don’t see something on these lists you may like, do not be discouraged. You are more than encouraged to start your own club of interest. At my past school, a few friends and I were interested in Martial Arts. We looked around and could not find anything, so we did what students do, ask. We learned that you can start a club with some student signatures and a sponsoring teacher. So that is just what we did. We set our time and participated in a successful club for 4 semesters and had so much fun.
Even if you are unsure about what a club may do, attend a meeting and they will be pleased to show you. Many friendships are started simply by joining a club. Even if you have never done something like flag football or dance, you will meet great people and make some friends in the process.
So now you can’t say you’re bored.
