Social distance or uni clubs are toxic!

As my university (MIU) starts to break out from its online lecture to on-campus ones, social misconnections start to puzzle the Facebook group of anonymous "group member" profiles. 

Finally, after four semesters of being online in all lectures with just two days to welcome our university with a visit, everything has become to be on campus entirely. Club activities, booths, games, bazaar days, brand camps, book fairs, and the long-awaited employment fair have set out their wings of entertainment to grab students to get engaged.

Yet there are so many down the way of unnoticed corners that can't see nor feel this. Those isolated felt students described their emotions on the university's group under the anonymous group member profile to not get known so easily. By the time the complaints were repeated, those in the same situation decided to form groups on Whatsapp to gather at uni and chit chat. 

Through these complaints posts, there are many advisable students who gave out comments to those solitude complainers to join the university clubs to get more connected to newer friends from different faculties. 

However, this wasn't helpful at all! 

Why??

Many famous clubs have become unbearable from their inside communities. The communities have got closed revolving around those intimate group friends getting the hard-working ones to handle everything on their own. The overvalued interviews are done just to test the applicant's skills rather than seeking passion. In response, many high-tended students got rejected. 

A reply will hit what I said with "We make these interviews to see the applicant's skills level so they would be helpful not an overload." "We would like to see the personality if it is of a good character trait or just a playful one."   

That all might be a good reason to point out! But what about the overuse of unqualified heads and presidents mentions to professionalize the whole issue dismissing the point of enjoyment outside the educational pressure. 

The complicated demands for highly skilled applicants have become so taming as if it is a job offer students apply for.  What do those underrated big positions ask students who are recovering from former educational types at school to ask for so much!? No denying that there are those who have extreme skills in various aspects shaped enough for the character and personality to move inches to the front. At the same time on the other side of the bank, there aren't who couldn't have any golden chances to witness such development in themselves.   

Let's think empathy a bit about it. What if I stated that there are those who apply to fill themselves with learning they look up and coexist with new versions of friends to take a step forward out of loneliness that has been accumulating them for depths.   

It becomes now understandable to a point of the existence of solitude felt by students who are trying to reach out for help or communication, but they are down the way the corners of unnoticeable places.  The inside of club communities isn't that enjoyable nor socially safe for shy ones. 

A huge balance of evolution is needed to drive the entire system upside down to collect the highly passioned ones rather than the skilled only with no morals.

  1. I totally get your point. I was previously a head in two different student activities. As a part of the experience, I had to interview the new members that will join my team. It is not an easy task tbh. But, rest assured that we choose applicants based on certain criteria. The latter changes based on the tasks carried out by the team. Certainly, there are exceptions. But, the normal interviewing process should be fair and friendly.
