    I want to take up a newextra-curricular activity. I want being around themreally stresses me out. I’mconvinced finding time
    somethinga bit out of the ordinary, but any suggestions for extra-curricular activities helps you study better. So, if you’ve
    5 arewelcome. just arrived at the uni and want to join a different kind of club, join
    30 the ‘Sheila and her Dog Society’. It’s existed for ten years. We all
    like comment share behave as if we were six years old. We drink cocoa, eat chocolate and
    biscuits, and read children’s stories. The idea may sound silly (the
    a J en S K wa name definitely does!) but curiously, we all find that going back to our
    3 hours ago
    childhood makes us feel kinder and more relaxed towards each other.

    It depends on your interests, but as I’m really into science If you’re at the uni, join the Jailbreak Society! We organise charity
    androbotics, it’s probably nosurprise that I recommend 45 events where, in twos or threes, students have just 36 hours to get as
    joining a Robot Football Society. This year we’re trying to far away as possible from ‘jail’ (that’s the campus, of course). Perhaps
    20 get to the RoboCup, the World Cup of Robot Football. I really thatdoesn’tsoundso difficult, but you can’t use any of your own
    enjoy the competitive aspect, but the other thing is you meet money to pay for transport. In the past, some teams have done really
    people with similar interests. Some of our teachingstaff are well and gone all the way to the Canary Islands or NewYork! We
    members, too. To be honest, I reckon I learn as much from this 50 made almost £30,000 for charity last year. We’re organising the next
    club as from my science lectures! event at this very minute so you can always help us to set it up.
