Hi Ivanna!
As a current undergraduate in college, you will be surprised to find how many student clubs and organizations exist. Usually, in your first few weeks of school, there will be a student activities event where most clubs will be presented, and I recommend you go and sign up for anything that sounds interesting! You don't have to be a part of everything (and you shouldn't), but this is a good way to learn about different extracurriculars and get involved. College is all about growing as a person and exploring your interests, and you might even surprise yourself! I would consider joining clubs both within and outside of your path of study. I would also suggest looking into sports teams (club or varsity), volunteering, and jobs on campus.

Hi Ivanna, you're right! University is about more than just studying; it's also about enjoying college life. When I was in school, I worked at Starbucks. It was a great way to meet new people and improve my social skills, especially as an introvert. Plus, earning money helped me cover my rent and food. Besides work, you can try playing sports at the university gym, which is free, or join any available classes. We had free dance and fitness classes every day, which kept me active and refreshed. Hope this gives you some good ideas!
