Why We Should Join an Organization in College

For some students, the organization is not important and a waste of time. Do you really want to focus on college or even lazy do not want to mingle with other students who are senior in the organization. But joining an organization on campus is enough to have a positive impact on students in the future.

Each organization has its own vision and mission which of course wants to advance the organization. One of the benefits of joining an organization is to improve the ability to socialize with others. In organizations, we usually do not only meet those people who are on campus but also quite a lot of outside communities. You can meet the outside community when doing activities such as when holding social service activities, community training, and many more.

One of the organizations that often carry out these activities is BEM (Student Executive Board). In BEM, there is usually a Community Social Department in charge of coordinating community service activities. In addition to BEM, other organizations such as LPM (Student Press Agency) can also improve social skills such as when we conduct interviews with sources.

In addition, joining an organization can improve our relationships. By organizing, your circle of friends will be wide. Especially if you join an organization within the scope of the campus, of course they’re your friends are not only from your own faculty but from other faculties as well. For example, LPM (Student Press Agency) there are many friends from other faculties, you can say that you can add relationships with friends from one university.

In organizations, of course, you can also learn to manage time. Like when you are in the organization, there are meetings and coincide with your courses on campus well there you can manage which, time to prioritize. But also you don’t forget our main task as students don’t forget or worse leave your lectures.

There are some tips when joining the organization, the first is that you have to take as many lessons as possible in the first period. You will receive more knowledge from your seniors in the organization. And also don’t be shy about asking fellow members and seniors. The second is consistency In organizing consistency is needed, considering that our responsibilities are not only for the organization. This usually causes us to easily feel tired, lazy, and not excited, but to get around it you have to be smart to set a schedule of activities.

Now this is the most important and last is to mingle with all members. To be able to feel the benefits of organization, you are expected to be able to familiarize yourself with all members so that you feel comfortable in joining the organization. Moreover, later you will work together with other members in implementing a work program. You can familiarize yourself by diligently coming to the secretariat of the organization you are joining.

Those are the benefits of joining an organization during college. If you are interested, join the organization immediately while it is still early and not too busy, if you are not interested, it’s okay, you can just focus on college so that you can be successful in the future. Good luck.
