College Life

College can easily be one of the best times in any young man or woman’s life. This 4 to 5 year (or more for some) period is often looked back on as the high point in their lives. There is more to higher education than what the stereotypical “college” movies and television shows portray. First is on campus living. At home usually you have a nice sized bed room and can enjoy the privacy it ensures. At college privacy goes out the window (if your dorm room even has one). Two people share a common living space which can be stressful for a young person who is not accustom to this style of living. Don’t worry though the beauty of living on campus is that there are tons of things to do to keep you out of the dorm room. If you’re like a majority of students you played some type of competitive sport in high school. Also like a majority of your fellow students you probably didn’t continue on to the collegic level in that sport. Well for us there is intramurals. It offers almost any sport you can think of and probably a lot you can’t. Joining a team and playing together gives you new friends on campus as well as some much needed exercise to keep away the dreaded freshmen 15. If you’re not the sporty type don’t feel bad for any college or university offers many academic and interest related clubs and organizations. Did you dance in high school? Then join the school dance club. Were you into accounting and chose that as your major? Then seek out the accounting club which not only allows you to network but gives you a leg up on your school work. Many students say they wish they had a voice in the politics of their school and surrounding community. For these students SGA or student government association is the right place for you become a member and vote on things that actually matter to your life as a student such as dues and policies for your campus. SGA also looks great on a resume. Lastly for those looking for a lifelong friendship there is Greek life. Joining a sorority or fraternity can be an expensive journey but often pays it back with the friends you make and the skills you learn. Also Greek life gives an individual many philanthropic opportunities at the university and the community allowing someone to feel they did something good in the world. College can be full of fun and learning but it requires you to put as much work into it as the individual expects to receive in return. Get out on campus and find what is best for you
