Seeing all of the groups and organizations I could join at club fest was a great experience. It showed me all the different opportunities I could be involved in. While attending club fest, I did not initially sign up for any clubs: however, I did consider a few. I also sat through many demonstrations about different clubs and organizations in one of my orientation classes for my major, Journalism and Mass Communication.
Clubs and organizations are a great way to get involved, especially if they are corresponding with what you are hoping to pursue a career in, in the future. I am currently in the process of hopefully earning a position on the Iowa State Daily. I chose this because I would be doing what I hope to do as a career one day; writing. Writing is what I am passionate about and I feel like this organization would be well suited for someone of my standards.
Being a busy college student definitely takes up a lot of my spare time, along with a part time job. I am hoping to make more time for other clubs possibly second semester as well. As for now I love being able to concentrate solely on my school work.
