It was Thursday just before noon. My friends and i had just left music class and were relieved to start the weekend. I had no plans and my friend Moi is the marketing director of a club called Chit Chat. They were having their first general interest meeting and she invited me. I accepted upon finding out they had Chinese food. I was there early since i arrived with Moi, a person responsible for setting up. WE moved to the room the meeting would be held in, she dropped her stuff and left to recruit more people/ print flyers. While shes away i help the other members of the group set up. I arrange the chairs and charge my phone. Soon after they set up the chinese food and i hopped on the line. It did not even occur to me that i planned to go to the gym within this time slot and Chinese food was literally the opposite of my goal for that hour. I made my plate and being the nice guy i am decided that my friend Moi would be upset if she returned and the food was all gone. So before i even ate my food ( i was very hungry ) i went back on line and made her a plate. I had gotten the last chicken, some rice, and a vegetarian egg roll. I then sat down and proceeded to socialize before the meeting officially started. We did some fun ice breakers such as a version of telephone where we have to act out a word given to us. It was a very fun and interactive icebreaker that made everyone laugh because of how ridiculous it was. After that icebreaker we learned about the club. While learning, Moi had long since arrived and i hinted to her that i got her a plate of food. Her lack of urgency in receiving the food and the fact that she returned with some snacks from Hispanic clubs going on the same day told me that it would be alright to have some of her food. It started with the mini egg roll then it turned ugly. I ate the rice and she saw me eating half the chicken so she knew the deal. It was wrong of me. Anyhow Chit Chat is a club dedicated to breaking down the cliques built by other clubs and inviting all. I am not an official representative yet and may have mis-described the group. However it is open to all and is meant to be a place to talk, network, they have events in the works, and is an overall very social, fun group. By the end of the meeting i asked the president to be a part of the marketing team, to which he directed me back to Moi. I also spoke to another student who wanted to be a marketer for the club. I got his number and have to contact him actually. It being late i helped clean up a small amount and then left the premises having had a very fun time at my first club. I plan to join the black student union also but the day i went their doors were closed so i have to go back. I cant wait.
