At Mega Fair I saw booths for clubs that I had never even thought could exist. Not only were there sororities and fraternities, but there were sports clubs (golf, soccer, basketball, rowing), there was earth club, little/big sibs, anime, international community service, food club, [insert your major here] co-ed fraternities, theater, there was even a quidditch club!
I decided I wanted to join the golf club since I played in high school. I also got more information on some sororities, a business fraternity, campus activities council, and a service club which raises money for an organization that installs clean water wells in African villages.
In high school I got a poem from my sophomore english teacher called "Think Different" I'm glad I've only been here 2 weeks and I'm already ready to be myself...
Think Different
"To the crazy ones.
The misfits.
The rebels.
The trouble makers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They're not fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can praise them, disagree with them,
quote them,
disbelieve them,
glorify them or vilify them.
About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They invent. They imagine. They heal.
They explore. They create. They inspire.
They push the human race forward.
How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels?
While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
And it's the people who are crazy enough
to think they can change the world,
who actually do."
Mega Fair showed me that the kids at Miami are okay with being crazy
because they know that it is the only way for them to reach their full potential.
Welcome to Miami!
