QC clubs
I've been thinking about this a while, and I'm definitely rearranging my priorities for extracurricular activities next semester. The clubs with which I was most involved were GLASA and SJ, and I was a more marginal member of groups like STAND and FAIR.
I don;t want to be as strongly involved in GLASA anymore. I think that next semester, I'll continue being involved in SJ, and be more involved in STAND and FAIR. i'll still talk to people from GLASA like Jason, Deb, Alex, Erick, Sima, Monique, Rina, and Noam, but i'm going to avoid the GLASA room like the plague.
Very honestly, I am not into feeling ignored in a school club that I am joining either to meet people, have fun, take part in something worthwhile, or all three of the above. That's how I've been feeling in the GLASA room lately. I hate trying to join in a conversation, just trying to get to know others better, especially if I do know about the topic of conversation, only to find myself nonverbally shut out with backs turned to me. Well, screw that. I just won't go to the GLASA room anymore. I don't feel welcome there. Other clubs meet Wednesdays, such as FAIR, and I'm just as strongly into animal rights as the rights of the LGBT community. I'd rather take part in something where I don't find the hurt of feeling excluded overwhelming my fervor for the cause.
Screw feeling like I blend in with the couch and the wall. It's not like I don't try to talk to people either. I do. They just don't respond. Well, fuck them. STAND , SJ and FAIR are activist groups i support as well, and I can actually do my part for my beliefs without the hindrance of having my ideas, my offers of help, and my overall presence ignored.
I also want to look into writing for the Knight News, and perhaps join some sports clubs. That would be kind of amazing, especially since my eligibility for NCAA expires after cross-country.
Most importantly, I want to start a Queens College chapter of the Harry Potter Alliance.
