For my student life requirement I decided to attend the UCLA ( United Chinese Language Association ) General interest meeting. I decided to attend this meeting because I was interested in the premise of the club and truthfully I thought it would be a quick way to get rid of my student life requirement. The general interest meeting started off with introductions from the members of the board. They were quick to introduce themselves starting with name, role, then a few quick ways in which they could solidify their “unique” personalities into our heads.
After the introductions we moved on to play some games with the people at the meeting as to get the crowd talking. We played two games If I remember correctly. The first game we played was Google Feud. We split into two teams ( the left side of the room vs the right side ) and battled it out to see who could guess the most common google searches related to the selected theme. It was fun to see the strangeness of google search results on the screen and it made it all the more enjoyable to hear people laugh and talk with each other. The next game we played was “zooooom in”, and the premise was to guess correctly the object on the screen from a close up perspective. Some were definitely impossible to guess but somehow some people in the crowd had figured it out. My only guess was that they were cheating. They just had to be…
When all the games were concluded they brought in food and everyone just stood around eating and talking. Overall I had a good time and everyone was extremely friendly making it more appealing to stay after school and be active at Baruch.
