With the school year coming to a close it’s time to make that one last effort to meet new people. Take it from me, someone who met all of his friends this year during the last two weeks of my freshman year.
My schedule last year was quite different, as I had one class in the morning/afternoon and one at night. This left a lot of dead time between the two classes and often times if I didn’t feel like going home I would simply just stay at the school and sit by myself. Now as someone who considers them-self outgoing I was often times very board just sitting around though. I can remember it like it was yesterday when Matthew Meade and Nic Pomeroy invited me to come hangout with them in the current Veterans Lounge. It was pretty evident early on that our personality types mashed and we started to hangout on a more regular basis. I had never seen those guys around the school. If it hadn’t been for the student center i would have never met my two current roommates.
Luckily for any students looking to meet new people you don’t have to sit around and wait for someone to invite you hangout with them as there are plenty of activities going on in the student center. For example this Wednesday the student center will be holding a “What Not to Wear” fashion show at noon. Maybe you’ll see someone one you’ve never met or have always been interested in getting to talk to there.
The student center offers things far beyond just a friendly environment. Take the Job and Internship fair that’s going on this Thursday this is a tremendous opportunity to advance your career in whatever field you plan to pursue. My Dad always told me, “It’s not what you know in life but who you know”. Thanks to the student center you may just meet someone that can open a door for you that you would have never found.
What makes the student center so welcoming is the staff that runs it. All of the staff that works in the student center office go to OSUM or MTC. In fact if you are looking for another way to get involved you could apply to work in the student center.
The student center truly is the epicenter of campus and offers so much to every OSUM or MTC student
