Either way it will be impressive on your resume and an exciting talking point for interviews.

What I do: I’m currently involved in a Marketing club for the largest fashion organization at Cal.

Emotional and Mindful Health

Just writing about working makes me tired, and that’s why focusing on your mental and emotional health is vital. This couldn’t be truer than now where we spend such little time with other people. While this will look different to every person, it’s important you find a club that not only caters to your emotional needs (the activity) but that creates a community that makes you feel safe. 

My personal recommendation is that this organization be separate from your social circle, a space where you can go for comfort, a home away from home. Some suggestions are a meditation club, religious community, mindfulness practicing organization or a mental health support group.

What I do: I’m a member of a religious organization on my campus.

Creative

Do not skip over this. Creative endeavors aren’t only extremely beneficial to your emotional health, but creativity is one of the strongest indicators of success. Unlike what you might have been taught, everyone is creative, it’s simply a matter of honing that skill. 

This doesn’t mean you have to become a painter; it just means you do an activity that engages your creative mind. Some suggestions are improv, painting, drawing, writing, filmmaking, band or songwriting.

What I do: I am part of a club that connects aspiring photographers, makeup artists and models to stylists (me) where we work together on fashion shoots.
