Getting involved on campus is something that is important to me, so the Organization Fair was a great opportunity to find out about ways I can do that. I spoke to lots of people about their teams, clubs, groups and congregations.

I am already a brother in the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, as well as a member of the Carolina Hockey team, but there are two other organizations I would like to get involved with: Sports & Entertainment Management Club and Helping Hands.

The Sports & Entertainment Management Club will help me to get involved in the area of profession that I am interested in. I would meet other people who are studying or share a common interest in the field, and would have the opportunity to talk to people who are already successful in the business. Helping Hands is a charitable organization that puts on many events throughout the year to raise funds and awareness for cancer research and water supply in foreign countries, as well as feeding the homeless and getting involved with children. Throughout high school, I did over 250 volunteer service hours and I would like to continue to do service.

Here is my Semester Bucket List:

1. 3.5+ GPA
2. Be on the first line for the hockey team
3. Win a chair position in my fraternity
4. Get student section tickets for every football game
5. Travel to an away game
6. Help organize a charitable event
7. Participate in a charitable event
8. Help organize a fraternity event
9. Go on a Sports & Entertainment Management Club trip
10. Go to a party at The HUB

My first week of college classes was better than I thought it would be. I expected the professors and teachers to get right down to business and start their lesson plans, but it was very much like the first week of high school classes in which they introduced themselves and reassured the students that they would help us through the courses. The best part of my first week was when my Spanish teacher told our class that she isn't there to make the course harder than it is for us, rather she wants to help us get our credit so we can continue on with our business majors. The worst part of my first week was my 7:30-9:30 class. I can relate my first week to the life of Bernadette because I'm in a new place and I'm expanding my horizons.
