Be involved, get involved

I sure can say I am overly involved!

I believe the best way to have a good experience in high school or college is getting involved. Joining a club or Greek life, will definitely increase both your education and overall experience! It is hard however, to become involved, especially if it’s something new to you or your school.

Here are some tips I have gathered on making involvement easier and smoother.

11.   Connections // these are the bridges on meeting new people and joining organizations faster and easier. Orientation is a great way to meet new people and build connections. Meeting your recruitment advisors if you’re interested in recruitment is a great way to get some tips before Formal Recruitment.
22.  Attend fairs // whether it’s a job fair, club fair, or recruitment fair, GO! These are great places to visit booths and learn more information about the different ways you could get involved and get free stuff! 

Getting involved also has its perks! 

11. Meet new people // if you are new to your school or moved away from home getting involved is a great way to meet new people. The people you meet through involvement will probably be your friends forever!
22. Build your Resume // being involved is a great way to build your resume. Many employers will take your involvement as experience if you have not had a job yet.
33. You will be happier // the best one yet! You are guaranteed to be a happier person through involvement. Especially since you are meeting new people, joining an interest club, or talking with people with similar interests!

Senior year

Hey readers!

I hope you have all been having an awesome year! I actually have been having a great eventful year! This is year I have been greatly involved within my school's SGA (Student Government) program. Currently I hold the position of Treasurer but I sure deal with more than budgets! This season I have become more organized, skillful, and have gained a growth mindset. I am so excited for the upcoming events and to of course graduate!

Now college... hmm... well I have been accepted to 3/4 schools! I am waiting on my choice school in the next week so I am as nervous as anyone can be! College applications are a long process that take a lot of time and patience haha. Stay tuned to see what Universities I have been accepted to!

A couple of things that have kept me busy are: FEA, SGA,tutoring, college applications, scholarships, school, AP classes, roommates, trips, and more!

A word of advice to everyone is to create a plan and stay organized. Also, keep your goals in check and take the steps necessary to achieve them.

I am so excited to take on the rest of the year!
