That\u2019s what I thought my first year, anyway. In highschool, I was <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">super <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">involved. There wasn\u2019t a single day of the week during any time of the year when I didn\u2019t have a packed schedule from 7:00 in the morning to 6:00 in the evening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, when I came to college and realized how much free time I had, I was honestly a bit overwhelmed. Then, I started realizing how much there was to get involved with at Cedarville, and I became <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">so <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">excited. Cedarville really does have a little bit of everything. (If you check out <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cedarville.presence.io\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cedarville.presence.io,<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you can catch a glimpse of the different types of organizations on campus). If you love music, you can audition for one of our many music groups \u2014 choirs, bands, worship groups. or Cedarville\u2019s a capella group, The Inversions. If you like to play sports, there are a bunch of intramural teams to choose from. If you love dogs, like to fish, or can dominate in some Smash Bros, there are different orgs for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">See what I mean? There is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">so <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">much.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My freshman year, I wasn\u2019t sure how to narrow it down. Thankfully, a wise person gave me this advice: Don\u2019t overload yourself your first year, and just try a couple of things to start. Choose to do what you love, but also push yourself to try something new.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I followed that advice, and I think it worked out great for me. I knew I loved writing, so I used that to get involved and started writing for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cedars<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Cedarville\u2019s student-run newspaper. To try something new, I joined College Republicans. Through this org, I got to meet some really great people, and I even got to go on a really cool weekend trip to Washington, D.C.!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the next few years, I branched out a bit more and started getting involved in different volunteer ministries and a lot of different intramurals (my soccer team has consistently gotten second place in the intramural finals, but it\u2019s fine, I\u2019m fine \u2026).<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s a sweaty attempt at a selfie of our soccer team:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-353\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Peterson_involvement_1.jpg?resize=700%2C394&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Peterson_involvement_1.jpg?resize=700%2C394&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Peterson_involvement_1.jpg?resize=250%2C141&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Peterson_involvement_1.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Peterson_involvement_1.jpg?resize=120%2C67&amp;ssl=1 120w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.cedarville.edu\/studentlife\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Peterson_involvement_1.jpg?w=1334&amp;ssl=1 1334w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My sophomore year, I also got involved in the Campus Activities Board (CAB), and I\u2019ve been on that team ever since!

My advice to you is to take advantage of it right away; don\u2019t just wait for opportunities to come to you. An important first step in getting involved is to attend the Involvement Fair on Friday, August 23rd. Here, churches, ministries and orgs will have tables set up with information and people to talk to. You can learn about each org, talk to people in it, and let them know if you\u2019re interested in joining! This event is definitely one of my favorites. It really is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">so <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">much fun, and did I mention there\u2019s free food?

Thankfully, Cedarville students are blessed with the chance to have chapel every day, so you\u2019ll be reminded of that often.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wow, I\u2019m ready for chapels and activities to begin once again.
