Student organizations can give you just the right experience for jobs or internships. If you want to take the steps towards your future career student organizations are the way to go. Clubs provide networking opportunities, hard and soft skills and event planning experience.

Friendships.

Student organizations are the best place to meet friends. Not only will you meet people that you'll work events with and have discussions about your careers, but you'll also meet people who have the same interests and passions as you.

Time management.

You may feel like a student organization may take up too much of your time, but in my experience, it adds structure to your weekly schedule which in turn encourages time management.

Leadership opportunities.

Student organizations offer leadership opportunities that can prove to hiring managers that you are more than just a college student. You should definitely make the most of every opportunity that is presented to you.

Overall fun!

In college, time flies. You don't want these next few years to go by in a flash and look back on only memories of studying and stressful semesters. Student organizations often host events and meetings where you can create great memories, give back to a community and learn about your own passions. You will have fun in student organizations.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well.
