A lot of college students get so busy with their course load, jobs, and with any sports they are involved with that they forget to involve themselves in clubs and organizations. College is the time to explore and enrich your life, so get involved and make a change! While I know it can get overwhelming at times, it is all worth it.

1. Keeps you busy

We tend to complain about how busy we are, but being busy is healthy! Being busy with all kinds of things that help keep building you as person makes it easy to let go of the negative things in life.

2. The "I did that!" moment

There is no better feeling than walking around campus and seeing something that you and the organization you're involved with made happen and proudly thinking, "Yes! I did that!"

3. Meet new people

Joining clubs/organizations is great networking tool. You get to meet many different students through the club. You also get the opportunities to meet and work closer to faculty in the school.

4. You're a Doer not a Talker

Instead of just talking about the issues and things that should be changed, go out and do it! If you see something you want to change, do some research, join a club, and make a difference!

5. Learn more about yourself

Being in clubs and organizations, you will be exposed to so many different things you will see what kind of skills and abilities you have. These experiences can bring out the best in you and make you realize what type of person you are!
