Whe
ther or not you go to
a big university or
a sm
aller college, by
the time you re
ach your junior ye
ar, you might feel like you’ve seen
and done it
all. You
alre
ady know which clubs
and groups you w
ant to join, you’ve explored different
ac
ademic dep
artments
and
are re
ady to finish up your m
ajor,
and h
ave
alre
ady experimented with
the best m
ake-out spots on c
ampus. While study
abro
ad c
an provide
a much-needed esc
ape th
at le
aves you refreshed
and excited to return to your school,
there
are less extreme w
ays to burst
the c
ampus bubble so th
at you’re consistently feeling
as ch
allenged
and enthusi
astic
as you did
the first d
ay you
arrived.
At
the st
art of e
ach semester — or whenever you’re feeling bored — review
the list of clubs
and extr
acurricul
ar
activities on your college website or by visiting
the office for student
aff
airs or student
activities (e
ach c
ampus h
as
a different n
ame
and org
aniz
ation system). New clubs h
ave prob
ably formed since your freshmen orient
ation,
and you m
ay h
ave developed different interests, re
alizing th
at clubs or intr
amur
al sports you weren’t
attr
acted to in
the p
ast
are now
a better fit.
Ask your friends wh
at
they’re into,
and t
ag
along to
a meeting to see wh
at it’s
all
about. Most meetings h
ave some sort of free food, too, so
at le
ast you’ll get
a bre
ak from schoolwork
and
a study bre
ak sn
ack.
