As my college classes come to an end, I cannot help but want more classes. Classes that are not required—hobby classes! I know that I am not alone. For an icebreaker the other day at my internship, we went around the room and told each other what class we would take if we could. Many people said that they would like to join a chore or take cooking classes.
My mind was racing with several things that I want to do. Since I didn’t come from a family that hit the mountain on the weekends, I have always wanted to take skiing lessons. That way, I could keep up with my friends on the mountain instead of hanging out at the bunny slope. Cooking is another skill that I would like to master. I need to start with beginning knife skills, but I have this fear of losing a finger! It would be cool to take website and coding classes to fulfill my inner nerd. Then, there are fitness classes. I absolutely love fitness classes, no matter how bad I am at them. They are fun, social and good for you. Whether it is yoga, kick boxing or cycling, sign me up.
This ice breaker got me thinking about clubs that I would want to participate in post-college. In the past, I had been a part of student government, volunteer clubs, publications and sports clubs. I still like those hobbies, but I wanted something new. I love PR and would love to be a part of PRSSA. I would have joined it in college, if I hadn’t discovered my love of PR so late in the game. Growing my public speaking skills would be challenging and fun so a trip to the local Toastmasters chapter is a must. Other than that, it would be fun to be in a hiking, biking or cross-country skiing club because those activities are not as much fun alone.
All of these outings cannot be done in one day, but I have a lifetime to complete them. I challenge you to think up some fun classes that you will hopefully sign up for in your lifetime.
