Being a society member at
University
Coming to University with no
familiar faces can be a scary process. Although you’ll be independent for
probably the first time in your life, that also brings apprehension and
loneliness. However, you and your fellow freshers are all in the same boat, with
these feelings slowly vanishing without you even realising!
One way I found to conquer
these feelings quickly is joining a society! The University of Worcester have a
whole range of different societies, ranging from different sports to random
interests people may have! The sports societies are probably the most popular
and recognisable. The University offer the usual sports such as Football,
Rugby, Netball, Basketball, but also the miscellaneous ones like Canoeing, Pole
fitness and Equestrian! These societies will give you an incentive for keeping
fit (and for sweating off all the booze you might’ve drank during freshers
week!!), while also providing a much needed break from your studies. You’ll
quickly make friends with like-minded people, due to training sessions and the
Wednesday night socials, where each society have a different dress up, so it’s
like a prolonged night of freshers each week! In some cases, the sport you
choose will also compete in the “BUC’s” leagues, where you face other
Universities and represent Worcester.
Nonetheless, if sport is not
your cup of tea, the University also offer societies such as Harry Potter,
Anime, Investment Banking and even Disney!
In summary, there are plenty
of opportunities to go out and make friends. Do not get scared about joining a
society, because I guarantee it’ll be one of the best decisions you make during
your university life!
