First of all, we must think deeply about how much time it will cost to join the club. I guess you haven't experienced it and you don't know. Let me tell you. The average club may only take up about three hours of your time every week. How about it? Are you a little surprised? Call it a scam! After all, studying three hours a week for a year only costs tens of dollars, which is more cost-effective than going to a five-yuan store to buy things. Let's just say it's not a scam. We only train once or twice a week. This is obviously to whet the appetite of the club members. If you sign up for this kind of club, then club activities will only be a small part of your college years, and you will still have a lot of time in your hands. Some people have always said that joining clubs is a waste of time. In fact, club activities do not take up much of your time at all. Even if they are really a waste of time, they are only one ten thousandth of your college years.

Secondly, before going to college, you probably put most of your energy into exam-oriented education. You have tight study time and high pressure from competition. Once they go to college, they have a lot of time to make their own arrangements. Many people will come up with the idea of ??cultivating one or two specialties, so they turn their attention to clubs. But we don’t know if their idea was ultimately realized. Developing specialties is very much like a development game, it requires time and energy. If one day in the future you develop your own specialties, it means that this time was not wasted.

Besides, there is another reason why many people join clubs, and that is to make friends. One characteristic of university societies is that the members are very mixed. The mixed here does not mean that the identities of the members are mixed, but that the members come from different regions in China, from the three northeastern provinces to Guangdong, from Shandong to Xinjiang, all over the country, and a small A small community is like a river in Liangshan, where we are all brothers. This was the case in the club I joined back then. We ran together in the middle of the night, walked together, practiced martial arts routines together, sweated profusely together, and suffered various punishments together. We were really like brothers in need. Hey, mom, why are you so emotional all of a sudden? Let’s talk about the benefits of making friends in clubs. The most direct benefit is to expand your social circle. Once your social circle is expanded, it will be easier to do anything, including finding a part-time job, finding a job, asking about various majors, and finding a partner. . That guy, when I was in the club, I could eat dog food by the handful. Apart from eating dog food, all the other benefits brought by the association are not a waste of time, but a real exchange of time for wealth.

One more thing. Many people may think that a club is an organization that specializes in cultivating hobbies such as singing, dancing, rap, and basketball. However, this concept is a bit biased. Just like there are many large clubs in universities now, they are also divided into departments. , each department is responsible for something. For example, the martial arts club I joined is divided into technical department, online editorial department, organizational department, etc. The head of each department will teach members some necessary skills. For example, in the technology department, the head may teach you how to use a SLR to take photos and how to use PR to make videos. In the organization department, the head will teach you how to write a plan. And how to use office software and the like, these things will be very helpful for you to enter the workplace in the future.

Of course, joining a club and not wasting time is really a matter of public opinion and mother-in-law. Your senior sister said that joining the club is a waste of time. She is definitely not just farting out of thin air. You have to listen to her advice. In fact, there are not a few people like your senior sister who say joining clubs is a waste of time. Why do they think joining clubs is a waste of time? Next I will tell you the reason.

There are some clubs that are very disgusting and specialize in deceiving freshmen. I can’t say they are cheating, but I should say they are irresponsible. When recruiting members, you brag about it and make your club feel like the best in the world. After collecting the money, your true colors are revealed. Originally, there were classes every week, but the leaders of the club just found excuses. They would not go to class if they could, and they would attend less classes if they could. Moreover, when they taught you, they did not teach seriously. They spent most of the time just nagging you. Parents are short-tempered. Yes, just melon seeds and almonds are missing, turning the club class into a tea party. When spring comes the next year, everything revives, and it's the mating season of animals. The club leaders begin to look for successors. As for how to choose successors, they must choose those who have practiced before going to college, or those who are talented. , as for ordinary members, they basically gave up. Don't think that I made these up. There really is such a club. What can you learn from such a club? Isn't it a waste of time to join such a club? Classmates, you should be cautious and cautious before signing up for a club. Ask your seniors and sisters, they know better than you. Find out which clubs are like this, and then avoid them.

There are also some clubs, although they are quite responsible for students, and the ministers and presidents are OK, but this club is not good. Why specifically? It is like a patient who is dying of his life. Once he is dying, he will be dying for several years. He will look cold immediately, but he is still strong and will occasionally give you a flashback. This kind of society gives people such a feeling. Most schools will have clubs like this. Once you join, it's just a matter of messing around. They usually just leave you alone and don't have any activities all year round. However, in order to enhance its presence, the club will hold dinner parties every now and then, as if to tell you that our club is still alive.

In a club like this, if you join for a year, you won't learn anything, and you'll just ride around and drink. So there is really no need to join this kind of club. It will be boring after joining. It is better to just quit the club and go play King Pesticide.

In addition, let’s talk about a type of club. This type of club is one with a small number of people. As long as there is an event, all members must be mobilized. In fact, this kind of club is very common. If a general club wants to hold an event, it will choose a Saturday or Sunday when members have no classes. Some clubs are very ignorant and insist on choosing a fixed time to hold activities. They do not ask members if they have anything to do or if they are available, and they insist that everyone come. It's okay for members who have delicious food, but if they are members who have something to do, wouldn't this delay things? In fact, this is nothing. What is even more frightening is that a society with many activities and insufficient manpower will ask you to do hard work every now and then, and you are too embarrassed to refuse. If you join this kind of club, you will probably feel that university is really busy, but you don’t know what you are busy with. This kind of club pesters students and takes up your own time. Do you think joining this club will not waste your time? Now that we are talking about whether you are busy in college, I would like to remind students that when choosing to join a club, you must not join too many clubs at once, otherwise you will be really busy and your body will be exhausted. You are only a freshman, so you still need to leave some time for yourself to relax. Going on a trip or riding a bicycle to stroll around the city are all good choices.

What I just mentioned are some of the reasons for the association, and some of the reasons are due to myself. As I said just now, joining a club is just to improve yourself, cultivate your interests and hobbies, or learn one or two skills that you can use in the future. But if you give up halfway, you can only learn half-assedly. Being half-assed actually means knowing nothing. , you spent time doing something meaningless, isn't it just a waste of time? I was one of those people who gave up halfway. I thought it was nothing at the time. It felt like quitting would relieve a lot of worries. When I was in my junior and senior years, I was very envious when I saw those great masters who persisted and already had full skills. I still hope that you will not learn from me in the future and use me as a negative example. You must seize the opportunity to join the club and try as much as possible. You will benefit a lot. When you reach your junior or senior year, when you think back to your college life, you will feel that your trip was well worth it.

Junior, my mouth is dry after talking so much, so I will leave you with a few final words. There are millions of college students every year, and everyone encounters the same problem as you more or less. They are all freshmen and have great visions for college. At least for now, they are still motivated and want to go to college. I want to make a difference and don’t want to waste my time on useless things. It’s understandable, that’s how I came here. Teacher Zheng once told us: Strengthen your body and entertain your spirit. This may be the true meaning of joining a club. As for time, it must be spent. As for whether it is wasted or not, it depends on whether you choose the right club and how long you stick to it after joining. . And your senior sister, in fact, there is no need to be swayed by her words. She may have participated in the club, but she may have quit midway due to certain things, or was cheated by the club, so she said what she said now. In fact, we should seize the opportunity and enrich our after-school life while there are relatively few freshman courses. As for what the future will look like, we will leave it to time.
