Getting Involved . . . Again

so here we are . . .getting involved . . . yet again.

Two days ago, Thursday, was like the DAY for getting involved. Everybody seemed to hold their meetings . . . .which meant I had 6 meetings in one night. Am I slightly overzealous? Perhaps . . . but there are the introductory meetings that will tell you if you’re really interested or not. So far I’ve been to meetings for Tulane DEMS, Science and Engineering Honor Society, Alpha Lambda Delta, step practice for my sorority Delta Xi Nu, dorm meetings, and the Residential Hall Association. And that’s just a few of the things I’m interested in . . . . .

I really thought it would be easier to narrow stuff down as I got older. But I see so many new opportunities and its sort of difficult not to jump on them all. Going to introductory meetings is a nice way of figuring out where my real interests lie. I’m sure within the next couple of weeks I’ll find out for sure. I’m actually a little jealous of the freshman . . .8 months ago I didn’t even have all the opportunities that they have now to get involved. Many different organizations call for freshman representatives so by the time they turn into old people like me they know what they’re doing and can effectively help lead that organization.

So for all you freshman out there . . . . . please don’t sit at home and chill with your peeps and watch tv and talk on AIM and facebook stalk people ALL the time. This sort of stuff is good 4-5 hours a day . . . . with the rest of your time go LOOK around, grab a flyer, go to a meeting or two. You just might be surprised at what you find!

The best treasures are often hidden . . . . .
