Get involved.

On move-in day, my brother offered up several bits of wisdom:
"Interested is interesting."
"Go to class."
"Go to the gym."
"Take lots of pictures."
And, of course, his personal favorite--"All men want sex." (He says this is one thing I should always remember.)

But he also told me that I should get involved. Naturally, I wanted to be in a sorority, so I rushed, and I pledged Delta Zeta. But, as any one of my friends will tell you, I cannot be in just one organization, because I have far too many interests--I love dance, fashion, art, music, acting, and musical theater, and I often get excited about random things. So, on Wednesday, I went to the Student Organization Fair on Greene Street.

There were a few organizations I already knew I was interested in--The Gay-Straight Alliance, Carolina Ballroom, Fashion Board, and the Flying Gamecock Skydiving Club. This would be enough to fill up anyone's plate, but, being me, I wanted to see everything. I couldn't believe how many clubs and organizations there were! Bellydancing Club, Ultimate Frisbee Club, and even a Church of the Flying Spaghetti Club! It was absolutely insane. I went to most of the tables (which seemed to irritate my roomate a little bit), and all of the people were so passionate about their organizations that it blew me away.

I don't even know how many e-mail lists I put my name on. The only tables I avoided at all costs were the ones for various intramural sports (I hate sports). Oh, and the Outdoor Club (I'm allergic to grass). However, I think I'll be sticking with my original choices for clubs, plus I'll probably be doing the National Student Exchange.

I'm excited to be getting involved here at USC. What are you going to be involved in? Let me know!

Keep it classy and fabulous!
