One of the biggest transitions between the small school atmosphere of home and the gargantuan feel of a state university is the lack of involvement. It's only natural that at a small school, each person plays a big role in the activities of the school. In college, however, it is difficult to get involved without putting yourself out there and trying to get involved.
The advantage of this atmosphere is the variety of organizations, many of which I was given the opportunity to view closely at "Club Fest." I've always been a well rounded individual, but my well-roundedness had almost completely revolved around school activities, therefore, I wanted to take this opportunity to participate in a club that I would really spark my interesting. I walked around for a while, and there it was; that day, I joined the ISU Ski Club.
In the past, my family has taken numerous trips to Colorado to ski. After I learned, I came to love skiing second in my life, only to football. After speaking to the representatives of the club, I had a feeling it was the club I was going to join. Joining the ski club seemed like almost a perfect fit for me; it was an opportunity to enjoy skiing and meet people who share my love for it.
From the very beginning, I enjoyed being in the ski club. We had a grill out the following week, where I made new friends right away. Probably the most enjoyable part of this was talking to these people about their experiences with skiing. I wanted to hit the slopes right when I got back to my room. I'm really excited for our next get together, and hopefully I make it to one of the ski trips this year. Joining a club has been a great break from studying and a great way to make new friends, and I encourage anyone I meet to do the same.
God bless.

I think that snow skiing and water skiing would be really fun. I've never snow skied before but it is definitely on my list of things to do. I'm glad you found something that sparks your interest. Good for you!!
ReplyDeleteIt's cool that you know how to ski. I kind of want to learn, but I'm pretty sure I'd need an ambulance about three minutes in. Have fun w ski club!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you found a good club that you will be able to have fun with. On a side note, like the word gargantuan.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh this sounds like a blast-- tell you what-- once i am not as busy i am definitely going to join :)
ReplyDeleteThis club sounds really fun, and will keep you active. I have always wanted to try skiing.
ReplyDeleteThat is very true. Skiing was one of those things that I tried many times and still "failed." I put that in quotes because I always had fun with it, I just wasn't good at it and it was others who saw it as failing. It is good that you found something that you love. God bless.
