Becoming involved on your college campus is so crucial to your college experience. I am so grateful for the people I have met through the organizations I am involved in. Being involved really gives you a good foundation for your college experience. Here are a few reasons why you should get involved.
You get to meet new people
The transition to college can be a scary one. Everyone is in the same boat as you, so it's okay to step out of your comfort zone and meet others. Getting involved in organizations on campus is a great outlet for meeting people. You are put with a group of people and are going to be working with them. This helps foster a community where you have people you know that you can reach out to.
It helps you get connected to your University
Feeling a part of your University and being proud of it, helps make you feel even more at home. There are so many organizations that do things involving the University. This allows you to be more knowledgeable about where you go to school and the different people it makes up. After all, this is going to be the place you call home throughout your college career.
You have something else to do besides school
Being involved and staying busy helps you stay on top of what you're supposed to do. It teaches you time management and how to prioritize. School can be overwhelming, so it's good to be doing things that will take your head away from stress for a while.
You gain experience
In many organizations, you are responsible for different tasks. Taking on a task or position in an organization provides you with skills that you can use toward your future career. You can gain so many different skills that help develop you as a person and a professional.
I encourage everyone to take a chance and get involved in something that interests you or something you are passionate about. It makes your college experience a well-rounded one, allows you to meet so many different people, and develop yourself as a person and professional.
