The campus recruitment drive is starting, and I, having enough of just sitting around in my dorm and playing video games after classes, I decided now was finally the time to join a club. I figure it’ll help me make some friends, something I wasn’t able to do in any of my classes, and maybe if I’m lucky, a girlfriend too! I sigh dejectedly at that though, knowing that an awkward, unsociable guy like me probably wouldn’t luck out that soon after attempting to come out of my shell. The only one I can talk to on the whole campus without anxiety is my roommate Ken, who I’ve been friends with since freshman year.
“Oh, are you heading out?” He asks surprised, knowing that I’m usually locked in my room the moment I get back from class.
“Uh, yeah… I figured I’d go out and get some fresh air and swing by that club thing that’s going on tonight.” “Oh, okay! Have fun!” He encourages.
I swallow my anxiety and head down to the student center where the club recruitment is taking place and swear to myself I won’t come back empty-handed.
