Just like in high school, getting involved in extracurriculars at your school can help you now and in the future. Whether it be through clubs, associations, sports, jobs, Greek life or whatever else, it's important to join something that means something to you. Feeling part of a group is essential when becoming a small fish in the big pond that is college, and it allows you to easily meet others with similar interests and passions. In the beginning of the school year there's usually a fair with booths of different clubs and groups to join, but also check out your school's Web site for a complete list of groups on campus and ways for you to get involved. For now, take a look at some popular national college associations and groups to get a feel for what you may be interested in.
