For my student life blog I decided to join a club. As I walked towards the room, I heard a lot of voices. I’ve always been shy and antisocial so going to a general interest meeting was a huge step for me. I was interested in this meeting which was for UCLA (United Chinese Language Association). As an asian, I guess I thought i could meet people I had commonalities with. When i entered, I saw a room full of people and one of the members of the club immediately welcomed me.
As i took a seat, everyone was getting to know each other. The girl to my left made an effort to start a conversation and from there, I felt like i already made a new friend. She was a senior named Tiffany and studied accounting, which is what i intend on majoring in as well. The members of UCLA were starting to introduce themselves and their positions in the club. They seemed really nice and outgoing.
After the introductions, the members explained what the main goal of the club was and what they were striving for. They also explained all the events that are going to be happening in the future. Later on, we were playing ice breakers games like google feud and zoom it. I think it was a great way to ease any nervousness and bond with everyone. The room was split into two groups, both being very competitive.
At last, the games were coming to an end and the members brought in food. Everyone in the room lined up and got a plate. There were many choices of food and drinks which made my time there very enjoyable. I really had a great experience and hope to join more of UCLA’s events in the future.
