When I was in High School, I was very involved. I played sports, I did various activities, held positions in different clubs and I was all around a very busy person. When I came to NMSU in the fall of 2009, I was so burned out from doing all of those activities in high school, I decided to take a break from activities and avoid anything extra in order to focus on classes. I was really shy and timid and I wasn't sure if I would be able to go out and do something all on my own. My sophomore year, I decided to break out of my shell and find something to do with all of my time, I thought that I really needed to start beefing up my resume and so I decided to join a club!
Slowly but surely began getting more and more involved with this club, which I initally thought was only something for my resume, and started becoming passionate about the causes my campus activity stood for. I held the position of Public Relations Chair. This year, I worked my way up to event chair and I am thrilled! I really believe that college is the place were you become the person you want to be. Everything that you do is done all on your own! No parents, teachers or friends can tell you who you are going to be, because in college everything that you do is done entirely independently. There is something for everyone and it is all up to you to get yourself involved. You are able to become passionate about causes or hobbies and go from there! This is the time to find yourself, the things you like, don't like, hobbies, causes, passions. In case you're wondering what NMSU has to offer, check out this list of campus activities http://www.nmsu.edu/StudentOrganizations/StudentOrganizationList.php
Maybe, there wasn't anything that seemed appealing? Well, start up your own club!
