Campus Club Connections

Finding friends in post-secondary can be as easy as joining a club!

A few weeks of the second semester have gone by, and so far, things have been going pretty well. There has, however, been one major change to my routine. I joined a club.

What’s this? Cameron is getting social?
 
Last semester, I wasn’t all too keen on being social, primarily because my schedule was packed and I was more focused on getting the work done. What’s changed for this semester is that my schedule is much more open, and I have more time to do my work. This has worked out well, as socializing more is one of my goals for this new semester!
 
Well let me tell you, joining a club -The Pride Centre, has probably been the best decision I’ve made so far!
 
Sure, it was awkward at first (I am guilty of walking by a few times to see what was going on without actually going in the room!), since I only knew one or two people, but after a hanging out a few times with all the members I felt a lot more comfortable. What’s nice is that everyone in a club has the same interests, which makes a great platform for starting conversation.
 
In the few weeks that I’ve been a part of this club, I’ve been a lot happier, and had a more positive outlook on things. What I like the most is hanging out with other members outside of school. Tagging along was a great way to get to know the members better, and establish some good friendships.
 
One thing that does sit in the back of my mind though, is that I now want to spend ALL my time in the meeting room and socializing. However, spending all day in the clubroom isn’t really what my tuition paid for. There’s a balance between “it’s time to socialize” and “I actually need to park myself in a desk in work”.
 
So readers, if you decide to join a club, or clubs, which I highly recommend, just remember that you’re also a student there to learn and do work. You’re there for school first, and socializing is the added (and awesome) bonus!
