-- Posted by cancerboy at 8:41 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 All I hear from people is "Join a club!"  Why?  I have friends that I  already keep in touch with and I am not at college to be bogged down with a useless club, I am here to do my work so that I can live comfortably when I get out.  It's not like the only place you can meet friends is in a club. -- Posted by deathhousee at 8:42 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 You can find 50 cent. -- Posted by SomSuave at 8:42 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 u goto clubs to dance. joining them isn't fun, but it pays. -- Posted by DerekFR at 8:42 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 You don't HAVE to join a club.

It's recommended if the club will help you with a future career. -- Posted by GrecoRomanGuy at 8:43 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 cancerboy wtf -- Posted by ghoulia at 8:43 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 You don't HAVE to join a club, I agree. If you're really interested in a certain thing, a club is a great way to find people with that kind of interest but it's not the ONLY way. -- Posted by cheesygod at 8:44 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 Join a club?

I'm going to assume the OP was talking about a school club.... And you don't have to, but it usually helps and gets you to be a more well rounded person...sometimes. Or so they say. -- Posted by cancerboy at 8:44 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 Quote: from GrecoRomanGuy at 8:43 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 cancerboy wtf I had cancer when I was a kid. -- Posted by Kayling at 8:45 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 Well, when you join a club, you get this whole thing of doing something you like with other people who also like it. BAM something in common right there, and easier to make friends. of course that's not the only place to meet people, but it helps shy people out when they can have something to talk about instead of grasping at straws to start a convo. Lots of people go to college far from home and literally have NO ONE there to talk to. Sure they may have friends from high school but those friends may be 3000 miles away, and that doesn't help you when you want to go see a new film and have to go alone, because you don't have any friends where you are. That's never any fun. -- Posted by Mustang11 at 8:46 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 Quote: from deathhousee at 8:42 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 You can find 50 cent. what the fuck did that mean -- Posted by deathhousee at 8:47 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 Quote: from Mustang11 at 11:46 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 Quote: from deathhousee at 8:42 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 You can find 50 cent. what the fuck did that mean What didn't it mean? -- Posted by Kayling at 8:48 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 you know, "you can find me in da club..."? it's a 50 cent song? -- Posted by Trastie at 8:50 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 Joining clubs is teh lamorz -- Posted by cheapmex69 at 8:51 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 i'm in a car club -- Posted by inkblot at 8:52 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 Join da club yo. -- Posted by dreamweaver at 12:06 pm on Aug. 21, 2007 Clubs are not very everyone and you don't have to join one. If you're comfortable with what you have and don't want to do any of that, then dont worry about it. -- Posted by jiminic2 at 3:07 pm on Aug. 21, 2007 Why don't you try a fraternity or sorority.  There are usually ones that fit your needs.  Also, fellow members can become lifelong friends. -- Posted by LilGuardchic86 at 9:31 pm on Aug. 29, 2007 No, but it helps make friends. -- Posted by Whitney 14 at 1:40 pm on Sep. 9, 2007 thats stupid u dont have to join a club thurr just to keep u out of trouble & meet new ppl big deal -- Posted by gprime at 5:59 pm on Sep. 9, 2007 It really depends on what you want. If you're going to college to expand your career options and salary potential, then chances are you'll want to go to some sort of graduate or professional school after that. And in that case, they can matter. For example, a law school applicant should do Debate, Mock Trial, or Model UN. A medical school applicant may want to join a Biology club or a Pre-Med society. I think you get the point. And, outside all of that, a fraternity is great for networking, so it may be in your financial interest to join. -- Posted by obvious child at 8:18 pm on Sep. 10, 2007 There's one very good reason to join a club You Resume Having relevant clubs towards your future job does WONDERS for you employment options. -- Posted by deathhousee at 5:38 pm on Sep. 24, 2007 Quote: from Mustang11 at 11:46 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 Quote: from deathhousee at 8:42 pm on Aug. 20, 2007 You can find 50 cent. what the fuck did that mean "You can find me in da club, bottle full of bub." -- Posted by deathhousee at 8:45 am on May 14, 2008 -- Posted by 721 at 10:35 am on May 16, 2008 you don't have too. but its good to get out of your clique and meet NEW people. y'know for socializing purposes. do whatever you want. -- Posted by gro at 12:03 am on May 20, 2008 Quote: from obvious child at 8:18 pm on Sep. 10, 2007 There's one very good reason to join a club You Resume Having relevant clubs towards your future job does WONDERS for you employment options. I actually just got a pretty stellar internship that I did not expect to even get an interview for when I applied.   Talking to the lady who hired me, she gave me an initial phone interview only because of one of the club leadership bullets on my resume.
