Joining the Club

Since coming here to USC, one of the most exciting things about college life for me has been going to clubs and organizations. The idea of joining groups of similarly minded people to hang out, have fun, and plan awesome events has always been an appealing one for me. So far I have joined two clubs here on campus; The society of Physics Students and the Fencing Club. The Society seemed too laid back and disorganized for my taste at first, but after getting to know the people and helping to plan for future events (some of which include a giant Newton's Cradle, Sumo Wrestling in fat suits, and staging foam weapon wars), I've really fallen in with them. The Fencing Club, on the other hand, is fairly structured. It's also the first athletic club I've been a part of in a long time. The best thing about that club, however, is that everyone in it is so similar. Fencing, apparently, attracts more nerds than anything else. I came into both of these clubs looking for like-minded people and fun things to do, and I definitely found both. I suspect I'll stick with these clubs for a long time to come.
