The Hidden Niche

I am a nerd. I've come to accept it and it's more closely related to a term of endearment than an insult for me now. There is one thing that must be said about nerds, however: we are not famous for being the heart of college life. That's the frat's and jock's job. This being the case, I came to college with the idea that I would have to scour the campus in search for the hidden niche of nerds. I knew they'd be out there somewhere (I planned to check the math department and science buildings for any signs of club activity), but what I wasn't expecting was how numerous and outspoken they were. Immediately (and without my having to poke around) signs of awesome, nerdy people appeared. Physics, video games, books, sci-fi, and even anime all had clubs dedicated to them. Before I knew it, I had gone to the club faire and found so many clubs I wanted to join that I couldn't fit them all into my schedule. annoyed and just a bit heartbroken, I finally managed to narrow it down to three clubs; NASHI (anime club), SPS (physics club), and Fencing. I've already gone to SPS and met some of the awesomest people alive, and now I'm eagerly awaiting a chance to check out the other clubs I set my eye on!
