OK, wow, crazy week. So, apparently I am becoming a semi-involved on campus student and I'm freaking out over it. I definitely joined two clubs at TCNJ, which I'm both really excited for: one is called Ed_2010 and it's basically a club for those interested in the magazine business and who want to build up their resume, network, get internships at magazines and hopefully jobs later on. The girl who runs it has worked for a bunch of places like Seventeen, Redbook, CosmoGirl etc. And though I had Vanity Fair and Time magazine in mind, that's still really cool. Also, I joined Unbound, the TCNJ online magazine and apparently they want me to write like "several" articles for it. I don't know what they mean by several but we shall see. And thankfully it's more laid-back than the newspaper, the Signal, which I am in process of joining and am lukewarm about.
Finally, there's WILL (Women in Learning and Leadership), which I am also not sure about. I mean, it's a good program and good to have on your resume but I'm just not sure it's for me. I also have to take like five courses in Women and Gender Studies and I'm just not THAT interested in WGS to take extra classes in it when I want to be so focused on my English courses and writing extracurricularly. So I'm really overwhelmed by it all right now, having just returned from the WILL induction, and with a lot of stuff to do on Sunday and Tuesday. OK, so it's really not that much but I'm just easily frazzled and sort of weirded out by it all. A part of me just wishes it was like high school again where everything extracurricular happened during lunch. That was so much easier.
Anyway, I hope everyone is doing better than I am right now in college. I just hate having to perpetually think about doing something. I'd much rather be focused and dedicated to a couple of things than have a lot of little things to think about. *sigh*
On a much, much, MUCH better note, I may be getting tickets to the Daily Show with Jon Stewart this November :D
