Is it necessary for a university to join a student union or a club?

In a blink of an eye, the summer vacation is coming again, and a new batch of freshmen are about to enter the campus. Many friends will have this doubt-is it necessary for a university to join a student union/club? As a person who has been in the Arts Department of the Student Union for three years, I want to share my feelings with you. Looking back on my past three years, I have never regretted joining the student union. Of course, is it necessary for universities to join the student union? This question will vary from person to person. First of all, we should analyze the advantages and disadvantages of joining the student union.

Benefits:

1. Exercise your abilities in all aspects.

Birds fly away with the phoenix, and people are proud of their excellent quality. In the student union, you can meet all kinds of people, many of whom are experts with special skills. Take the initiative to contact them and learn from them, which can make you have more bright spots. At the same time, when students can fully exercise their communication and organizational skills, these subtle things are hard to find at ordinary times, but at a certain moment when they need these skills, you will know the importance of accumulation at ordinary times.

For example, the literature and art department of our school is mainly responsible for large-scale school parties, singer competitions, school celebrations and other activities. There are many things to do from the early stage to the late stage of a party, and dozens of people in a department should do their jobs well.

It is also necessary to fully cooperate with all departments, prepare the list of actors and guests in advance, review the programs, and rehearse the process; To take photos and videos at the party site, you need to be resourceful and have the ability to deal with all kinds of emergencies urgently. After the party, manuscript push, news writing and so on. It's just a process, and there are still many things to do. In this process, a person's patience, sense of responsibility, and the ability to communicate with others and deal with various things can be exercised in all aspects.

It can be said that the heads of each department are trained through large-scale activities again and again. From the beginning of their freshman year, they constantly sum up their experience and constantly improve themselves. When you go from committee member to minister, you can imagine that apart from your inner love for this job, you have gained a capable and responsible self.

Step 2 make more friends

As mentioned above, take the literature and art department where I work as an example. To organize a large-scale school-level activity, it is necessary to mobilize people from different colleges or even more than half of the schools. You may need to communicate with teachers of different majors, or negotiate with seniors, brothers and sisters of different grades. How to make people with different identities and angles cooperate with our activities, how to communicate smoothly, and how to achieve the goal of holding our activities smoothly with half the effort are all challenging. When you stumble and talk to different people for the first time, you will feel relieved: it's really not easy!

But believe me, every time you negotiate with someone, you will become smoother and more confident. In this process, you will unconsciously meet many mentors and friends. So in a word, in the student union, you will be more accessible to students and teachers from different colleges and majors than others, which is more conducive to making friends from different circles, so that your circle of friends is no longer limited to a certain corner, and you will also have more favorable news channels.

3. Excellence Award and Joining the Party

This is one of the reasons why some people join the student union. Broad sky. Student Union is a bigger platform to show your talents, where you can meet more outstanding people and have more opportunities. Every time you give a merit award or join the party, the student union or other student organizations in each school should allocate corresponding places, which gives you an "advantage" over those students who have not joined the student union or club. After all, you have to fight for opportunities by yourself.

Enrich your resume

As we all know, your experience in participating in student organizations and various competitions during your college years can be written on your resume. Everyone will face the problem of finding a job in the first step of leaving school and entering the society. If your resume is colorful, you will gain the trust of HR company more easily. After all, for the fresh graduates who are looking for jobs, it should be the work experience of the student union or social organizations that can make up for the "social work experience" and prove their working ability on their resumes.

Disadvantages:

1. takes up too much extracurricular time.

For some students, after a period of time, students will feel a kind of bondage. After all, the original intention of each of us to enter the university is to bring our own lofty aspirations and full of blood-we hope our academic performance will be better; Want to participate in more competitions and activities; If you want to achieve countless goals you set ... after the work of the student union takes up your spare time-especially when you find that your roommate has a full weekend except normal classes, you may even wonder if joining the student union is a "decision to waste your time".

It is very important to find a balance between one's studies, work, free time and other factors when entering a university. The work of the student union may be a potential factor affecting this balance, and we may break the original plan because of sudden work or extra arrangements at school. So many people will worry about how to deal with the "balance between work and school life". Once this problem is not handled well, they will gradually feel distressed and burdensome.

If you don't have the confidence to have the "extra energy" to continue to do trivial things enthusiastically in the student union without complaint after completing your studies, certificates, competitions and other things in your college career, then I advise you to think carefully before entering the student union. After all, basic learning is the most important thing, and we don't want to delay basic classes for students' union and community affairs. It is also a wise decision to make a choice according to your actual situation and energy.

2. The "bad atmosphere" of the Student Union

We can't be sure that every school and every student union is a good atmosphere. No matter how good the student union is, there may be some "students with unhealthy mentality". Getting along with these people will greatly kill our enthusiasm for the student union, and will also make you feel resistant to the work of the student union as soon as you enter school.

But on second thought, the university is a small society, and we are in an era of the law of the jungle, and all kinds of disadvantages around us are things we will face sooner or later. Many friends around me have complained to me about all kinds of things in their school student union, but we can't choose to wrap ourselves up and make ourselves smaller and smaller because of such an environment. If we have the ability to change the surrounding environment, that is the best. If you can't change it, do your own thing and make full use of the favorable factors given by the environment to improve yourself. Brave Niu Niu is not afraid of difficulties ~ let go!

In short, you can choose to join the student union according to your own situation. Personally, I highly recommend everyone to try and exercise. After all, joining a student union or a club is an opportunity for us to adapt to society in advance. I hope you can find your own position in college and give full play to your light and heat. If it is a mountain, it must be firm; If it is a wave, there should be a direction to go.

So much for my answer to this question ~ I hope all of you here can find something you really love and are willing to pay for during your wonderful college time. I wish you all a happy start in advance!
