Being lucky enough to be part of the SkillsUSA Massachusetts Alumni association, I've had the most unique experience volunteering my time for this organization after graduating. Here's a couple signs that you, too, may have had the same unique experience with this truly amazing organization:
1. First getting your yellow jacket is like you've finally evolved to your final form.
2. Seeing all your friends during your first conference
Besides feeling totally old, you're definitely not mature enough to be in charge of them.
3. Acting like a teenager at the social
A yellow jacket doesn't mean this song stopped being your jam.
4. "Were you a state officer?"
5. Cheering on your school at every opportunity
6. Being reunited with your advisor
"Hi I miss you how's the chapter I miss you this is what I'm doing with my life I MISS YOU"
7. DREADING the words "late night security" or "chairs"
When you don't get enough sleep as it is, staying up until ungodly hours wandering hallways or setting up chairs is an all new version of hell.
8. Being reminded of how old you are constantly
9. "How do I become a state officer?"
10. Having a second family and reminiscing together
Remember when so-and-so was a national officer? They were on my team!
11. Seeing yourself in old videos
12. Relishing the relaxed dress code
No blazer? I'll take it!
13. Knowing all of the Leadership Award material by heart
You're not sure whether to be proud of it or kind of embarassed...
14. Ushering everyone to eat and then not having a seat for yourself
