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.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
