Film club. Never had that in high school, so wanted to try out. Noe suggestion.

Getting involved.
Also, were you/are you competing for a head position?
Probably. Most likely, yes.
Are you in a club?
Um… no
Why not?
Um I don’t know. This campus is just really big and overwhelming and I feel I just needed a semester to like feel this out and I’ll probably start doing clubs next semester.
Did you feel any pressure that you had to be apart of some kind of club?
Oh yeah, for sure. I always feel like when I tell people I’m not they kind of look like there is a judgment behind it you know. This isn’t a personal friend of mine but I know some people that are in 10 different clubs and I kinda feel like if your not a person who’s super social on this campus there is like a stigma behind it.
Do you feel that people are kinda like that or do you feel that the university wants you to join stuff?
I think it’s both. I think most of the opportunities on this campus are present through the clubs so if you don’t take advantage of them you’re kinda shooting yourself in the foot a little bit and I feel like people- it’s such a social campus that if you don’t engage in that I feel like people are like oh there’s a nerd or you know. I feel like it comes from both sides.
Are in any clubs?
I’m in intramural volleyball.Did you feel any pressure that you had to be apart of some kind of club?
So I kinda like- I felt that I needed to kinda sorta cause I haven’t done anything and I’m not very social social such as I don’t know you very well I’m not gonna talk to you so I felt that being part of intramural would maybe to thicken.. my horizons.
What are some pros and cons of being in that club?
Like a con is that they want to win a lot and it kinda dreads to have fun part but a pro is that even if we’re not winning you’re still having fun and you get to be around people with different personalities.
Are you active in your club?
Well yeah.
Do you think feel that your choice to join the club is a personal thing or do you feel like you kinda had to?
Personal. I didn’t feel pressured into doing anything.
Are you a part of any clubs or organizations?
I do some stuff with NSBE (National Society of Black Engineers).
What were some factors that helped you decide to join that organization?
I want to get into biomedical engineering and they’re black engineers so was hoping they would help me out.
What are some pros and cons of being in that?
Um… I’m not exactly that active in it so I don’t know the cons about it but the pros are we get to hang out and it’s a lot of fun and we get to like make friends who are in the same interest and the same major.
Since you’re not that active, what extent do you do participate?
I go to their like fun stuff. They have these outings where they go to like Austin Pizza and the jumping thing the trampoline place. The really fun stuff.
Do you think that your choice to be in that is personal or do you feel like you had to be part of a club or something?
