Okay, here’s a riddle for you: What’s valuable and great to have but hard to keep? If you guessed me, you’re correct.

The Ultimate Guide to Joining Clubs in College // eyeliner wings & pretty things
Joining clubs in college is fundamental to getting the entire college experience. I’ve been a member of many clubs, quit a lot of those same clubs, move up the ranks within some and even re-joined others. To sum it all up–joining clubs in college isn’t always that simple.

The truth of the matter is some clubs aren’t really clubs (ie: they don’t hold meetings and you’re not sure what’s  going on) and some clubs just don’t fit into your schedule and sometimes you’re just not as into them as you thought. These tips and suggestions will help you find clubs you love and thrive within them!
