Instead of spending time on your phone, find organizations that will allow you to give back to your community. There are many ways to serve and help those around you. It can be as simple as cleaning up a community space, giving someone a ride, helping a classmate study, giving blood or something longer-term, like volunteering.

Have something to look forward to at the end of your day, instead of resorting to your phone. Here are some ideas to get you started: try going stargazing (visit 麻豆入口鈥檚 public observatory), yoga, going for a walk, baking, taking a long shower, having a game night, joining intramurals (most games are at night), reading a book, etc.

Think about how much time you spend on non-school related technology in the evenings, and brainstorm replacements. It鈥檚 a good idea to think about why you are going to your favorite apps and games. Are you looking to relax, connect, distract? When making your list, try to come up with ideas that connect to what you are seeking.

Tips for Meaningful Engagement in Student Organizations & Campus Life

• Put yourself out there for new connections: Talk to the people tabling for student organizations, ask a professor about what organizations they recommend for your major, reach out to people on your residence hall floor about attending an event together.
• Be intentional about reflecting on what your values are & identify groups where those values are shared and affirmed: Prioritize activities like journaling or processing with a friend to understand if your current organization memberships are in alignment with the person you鈥檙e working to become during your time at college.
• Take advantage of opportunities to go deeper that help you build new skills or strengthen existing talents: Keep your ears open for opportunities to join a planning committee, volunteer at an event, or to manage the finances for your group. These are great ways to gain experiences you can talk about in an interview, beyond just listing an organization membership on your resume.
• Know when to take things off your plate: If you no longer feel passionate about an activity or notice you鈥檙e not able to commit the time and energy to an organization, it鈥檚 okay to decide something isn鈥檛 for you. Many organizations offer flexible levels of commitment, just be communicative about your plans to take a step back.
• Be present and have fun with others: To get the most out of your chosen involvement opportunities, commit to being fully present during meetings, events, and activities. Take the time to get to know people without your phone and enjoy shared activities.
