Why It Is Important To Be An Involved College Student

Being involved on campus can benefit you in many ways. You will build a relationship with so many professors and classmates. This is very important because you never know when you will need them to help in your future. Also, some of your classmates could be your fellow coworkers one day.

It is always important to have the best attitude and builds these relationships. I have met so many nice people since I started college, and I could not be more thankful. College is a very important part of your life because you're setting your whole future and career job.

It is also very important you always show up to class and on time. Professors can play a big part in your future. When you get in your classes for your major, that professor might be the one to write you a recommendation for a job. It is important to show them you are responsible and that you can come to class and make good grades.

This is a huge part because you do not want your professor to think that you cannot handle a job. You can always maintain a good relationship with them but also communicating in class. This will show the professor that you are actually paying attention.

At every college, there are so many clubs and organizations to get involved in. This is very important because it gives you an opportunity to meet more people. Involvement in these clubs helps students link their academic and experience with other students.

Being around other students like yourself can help you have a better understanding of the campus and their experiences. I have loved being involved in the clubs that I am apart of. I have gained so many friends and learn so many things. If you ever have the chance to join a club I would. I do not regret it at all and I will continue to participate in these clubs until I graduate.

Campus jobs are also are really good thing available to students to get involved. Every college student needs a job so why not work at the school you got to? I have really enjoyed my campus job. It has given me so many more opportunities.

I am a peer mentor where I go to class with other students that need a little more help. I love every minute of it. It actually benefits me because I get to gain more knowledge by getting to go to their classes. I have met so many friends that I work with and the sweetest students. I could not be more thankful for all the opportunities I have got to participate in since I started college. None of it would have been made possible if I had not simply gotten involved on campus.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
