Let's get to know more about my college's new clubs, shall we?
I woke up at 9 because I had to get some things in order. Aka clean up my shit before Alex's friends came over. This means all the embarrassing pictures inside, study desk clean as never before and all bedsheets and covers folded. Wow, I'm such a façade.
After all of that, I had lunch and went to my college for the club orientation. Out of the 200 students in my college, only 7 turned up. Seems like everyone is very passionate to know what the school has to offer.
So my college is now planning to have 11 student led clubs for various different things.
Club 1: Futurepreneurs aka Entrepreneur's Club
A few verticles of this club will be
-> Idea Incubator (Nurture and foster your idea into actionable businesses)

So basically this club will take up (or make one) an indepth social project which will affect the lives of a lot, in good ways, ofcourse.
The ultimate aim will be to enter into the Enactus World Cup.
Having Enactus on your CV will be really useful for the future.
Club 11: Parenthesis aka Parents Club
For the first time ever, a club for the parents.
Fancy words, eh?
Now we can choose only 3 clubs out of these 10 (Parenthesis excluded). If a club has less than 20 students applied for it, the club will be tanked.
Applications for the President's post of every club is open but I don't think I will apply for any. I'm still not confident in my leadership abilities. Also, there's a lot of imagination involved and I can't.
But I do have an idea of which clubs I want to be a member of.
WORD, Enactus and Organization Club.
WORD because I'm inclined towards reading and (a bit of) writing. I find it really interesting and I know the mentor and she knows me too so I will have a little advantage. But I have a feeling this club will not be able to pull 20 students and eventually I'll have to look for another club. (Finterest is my next choice)
Enactus because look, I have to think about my career now too. If they say Enactus is good for the CV, I'll take their word for it. Also, I think I do enjoy social projects even if I haven't done m(any).
Organization Club because meeting corporates. Last year we had many corporates but I wasn't ready for them. This time I'm planning on taking full advantage of the corporates who come to our college and maybe do a little networking? Maybe not. I haven't become that social as well. But yeah, I know a lot of people are going to opt for this club but I'm going for my own development, not caring about competition.
Let's see who gets the majority students. And all of this sounds interesting now but I know by experience that, in my college, not often does expectations match reality.
We'll just have to wait and watch.
