I went to the club fair on the 28th with Nicole and Karen and I thought it would be fun to meet new people. I am not really an outgoing person so I thought it would be nice to have people initiate conversation. I joined UCLA, which is the United Chinese Language Association. I thought that it would be fun to become more in touch with the Chinese side of me than I already am. I don’t know if that’s possible but we’ll see. Everyone at the club fair was very energetic and friendly. There was less free food than I expected but that’s ok because it was still fun. There was a lot of candy and people handing out free stuff. And the music they played was pretty good. It was kind of like a little party. We just walked around the gym a couple of times just so that we wouldn’t miss any potentially perfect club but I didn’t find one. Most clubs members were more interested in talking to each other than talking to new potential members. But whatever. I might start want to start my own club because I didn’t really find any clubs that I was really interested in. I think it was hard to find a club because I didn’t have a passion for any of the things that were there. I might start a volleyball club because I love the sport but don’t love it enough to be committed to the team at school. My life revolved around volleyball for four years in high school and I wanted to branch off and do something different but I miss it too much. School is also really hard to adjust to. I’m not used to having to do schoolwork but hopefully I’ll find a club next semester.

On Monday, I came to my day off to attend this workshop at school for this blog post because I didn’t want to be like everyone else and write about MOMA. When I walked in, I thought that it was going to be like any old workshop, where she was going to be boring and that I was going to be stuck in that small room for an hour and a half. I felt really out of place at first because I didn’t know anyone. But I soon realized that out of the whole room, there were some freshman in the room, so I wasn’t alone. Ms. Kaitlyn Riley, the speaker at this workshop, was very informative and made sure that we understood what she was saying. She gave us a packet with a bunch of sample resumes that we can model ours after. She made sure to tell us that having an objective on our resume is stupid and that it shouldn’t be there. And she repeated that enough times so that it is permanently etched into my brain that she didn’t like objectives and that most employers don’t really look at it. I think that I was the only freshman to have a resume and bring it with them, too. I thought it was a good idea. If you go to a resume writing seminar, don’t you think it’s a good idea to bring your resume so that you can revise it? Well I guess not for the seniors. Since not enough people had their resumes, we didn’t peer review them but she left plenty of time for any questions anyone had. She also took the time to give me some suggestions on how to improve my resume. This workshop was kind of boring without friends but I did learn a lot.
