Unlike high school, where everyone is there because they have too, you chose to go to college. You have agreed to pay for classes that will earn you the degree of your choice, if you pass. So don\u2019t totally blow off the \u201cschool\u201d part of college, BUT also get involved with outside activities. Not only will getting involved look good on your resum\u00e9 down the road, it also has so many benefits. You will make friends, develop connections, and make yourself feel more at home. You spend the majority of the year in school, so making Laramie your new home will help you stay sane in the midst of all the chaos college can bring. <i>So how do I get involved?<\/i> Start by recognizing your passions and go from there. For me, I ride and compete in ranch horse versatility, and believe it or not, we have a Ranch Horse Team here at the University. I also love promoting agriculture, and that\u2019s how I found Ag Ambassadors. There are so many <a href=\"http:\/\/www.uwyo.edu\/union\/cac\/rso\/what-is-rso.html\">RSOs (Recognized Student Organizations) <\/a>that are always excited to have new members. \u00a0You can also look for posters around the Union and Colleges, there\u2019s always opportunities to get involved on campus. So go out there and join a club, make friends, and enjoy your college experience!<\/p>\n<p>-Mackenzie Holmberg<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wyoextension.org\/agambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mackenzie-Holmberg.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1246 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.wyoextension.org\/agambassadors\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mackenzie-Holmberg-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Mackenzie Holmberg\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of course we are all here to ultimately leave with a degree (or two\u2026 if you\u2019re really on top of things), but college has so much more to offer than the \u201cschool\u201d experience.
