Hi! My name is Kathleen Long and this is my new column called Long Story Short. For those of you who know me (which is pretty much everybody) this is hilarious. For everyone else, you are confused. Let me clear it up for you. In this column I will tell a story of some kind, and will try to have a take-away point, or lesson in the end.
I am the President of the Association of Campus Events (ACE) Club. I enjoy being in a club, and I also enjoy holding the title of “president.” But, even more than that, I enjoy being involved with my school. I think it is important to network and get to know people. Most students come to school, go to their classes, and then leave. They think this is the right way to do it. WRONG! That is the dumb way to do it. Volunteer State Community College has clubs, planned events and tries to do as much as possible to make the stress of college as great of an experience as they possibly can. I would say they are doing a good job for only being a community college and not having the budget and resources of universities.
I suggest that you find someone who is in a club and ask them how they like it. Almost all of them will encourage you to join a club and get involved as well. Being a club member also has perks: You have the chance to get to know the staff and teachers; if you get a board position you can get paid; and you are always in the know.
Long story short: My last name is Long, I am short, this is my new column where I tell it like it is and you should join a club.
