How to Get Involved 2016!

Since school has started, what have you been doing? Homework and more homework right? Oh yeah, I can't forget studying ! If you haven't already, give yourself a break and relax. You can still enjoy life while attending college. You do not have to stay in your dorm all day and night. Explore campus and maybe join some organizations to get involved! I have a few tips to get you going.

#1 Attend on-campus events


While this might seem boring, you should go ahead and do it anyway! What do you have to lose? You need to get out and see what your campus has to offer in order to find out where you the feel the most comfortable so you can be happy! You don't want to join a club without attending any meetings or not knowing anything about it.

#2 Make sure to sign up to get more information


When you attend any meetings or events, make sure to sign up for email updates. Even if you aren't sure about it just do it anyway just in case you change your mind. That way you can stay up to date with the club and constantly receive information about any upcoming events or meetings!

#3 Join a club/organization


Find a club that interests you! Your major might even have a club and if it does you should definitely check that out! If could be beneficial to you and your future !

#4 Join a sorority/fraternity

Going Greek is one way to gain an instant family for life! You will definitely meet a lot of people and maybe long life friends! You will quickly find a group of people that will contain the same values that you have! Sororities and Fraternities always host or attend a lot of events so you should never be bored! Be prepared to make a serious commitment but if you are considering to rush then you should try it out!

#5 Make or Join an intramural sports team


I wasn't aware of this until I got to college but you can make your own sports team with a group of friends for just about any sport! Of course this is just for fun and it's okay if you aren't actually an athlete. This is a different way of having fun with friends!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
