I went to Clubfest to check out all the various clubs that Iowa State has to offer because I wanted to get more involved and to join something that I am interested in. Surprisingly, I wasn't impressed with Clubfest at all. I know there are tons of different clubs and organizations, but it was hard for me to find one I was passionate about.
A friend of mine is in the nutrition club and told me I should check it out. I stopped at the weight lifting clubs booth just because I like to work out, but that didn't seem like it was worth joining to me.
After circling Clubfest 4 times and failing to find something I was really interested in, I decided to take up the offer of my friend and and stop by the nutrition club's booth. I signed up for the emails and talked with them about 'nutrition' for a bit and decided it's worth a shot.
I found out that the nutrition club does a lot of community service projects like Meals on Wheels and stuff like that, and I thought that was really good for me because I need to start getting involved in the community. It's only $5.00 to join and get snacks and the meetings, so it's really cheap (something I like a lot!) and the meetings are very casual and fun (so I've heard). I have tried to get to the meetings but they always seem to be on Mondays when I'm in class or working so it has been hard to actually get to go one.
I think this club is really good because I like to stay healthy and it will get me involved in the community. It will not only help me academically by getting involved but help me stay healthy and eat right for life.

It's cool that you found something that you like to do that will also benefit you acadmically. The community service projects will really help out in the long run with resumes and stuff so it's great you could find some that deal with what you're interested in.
ReplyDeleteThats too bad you didn't have much luck with ClubFest.It sounds like Nutrition Club will suite you well tho. The cheap costs sounds like a good incentive as well!
ReplyDeleteEven though you didn't find the club that you wanted to feel passionate about maybe you will be able to get that feeling from this one. It sounds like it has a lot of benefits with helping others and keeping yourself healthy as well.
ReplyDeleteMeals on wheels is a good thing, and health is something you always have to keep an eye on. Make the best of this club, I know you will.
ReplyDeleteFun and Cheap. Sounds Good. Its hard finding open time to go to meetings. Meals on Wheels is really fun, i used to do it with my mom.
ReplyDeleteI need to make an effort to stay healthy, so this seems like a good club that i might try to get involved with. Seems pretty interesting.
ReplyDeleteThat club seems to have the best of everything. They feed you, you get to do community service, and it's a laid back atmosphere. It helps you stay healthy, what's not to like? Good choice.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! I didn't even realize there was a nutrition club? Maybe I should look into it as it kinda relates to my major. I'm glad you found a club you like that fits you and can have fun in.
ReplyDeleteClubfest can be pretty overwhelming. Being there trying to gain members for SAE let me realize how hard it is to get people in and excited. This club sounds pretty cool, but if you feel you need something else remember there are tons of other clubs on campus.
ReplyDeleteCheap food?! Sounds like my type of club! Where do I sign up...? :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you though. I wasn't really impressed with ClubFest either. There was too much to look at for someone who didn't know what they were looking for. Glad you found something interesting though!
That's pretty awesome! It sounds like a great way to avoid the freshman 15!!! Getting involved in the community is something I want to fid a club for as well. Thats sounds like it would be a very good club to join for several reasons.
ReplyDeletei really like it how your willing to get out there and help the community. nice work jasenn. Good job also on stayin healthy wouldnt wanna get to fat.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool that you finally found something. I walked around clubfest a couple of times also and wasn't impressed.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that there was nutrition club but I am glad that you found it. Bummer that you haven't been able to go to any of the meetings yet. Maybe you will have better luck next semester.
