Planning the Clovis North social took effort; however, I feel that the end-result warranted the efforts. Initially approached by Jennifer, Alex of Clovis North reached out to us, and from there everything fell into place quite well. We had a bonding event between our boards previous to this social which created connections leading to a less awkward event. Furthermore, all of the officer at Clovis North are incredibly hard-working: so, when we brainstormed the final social, their officers worked hard to make sure that everything ran well. This would not have been possible without the combined efforts of our officers, and I am very happy. HOWEVER, do not stop reading the article on that low note. To me, the advantages of virtual socials have completely outweighed any disadvantages. It is one of the few times I get to see people’s faces. They are the only times I get to interact with other club Presidents. I have talked to way more people outside of Oxford solely because of online socials. Also, they are fun! So, please join our socials guys. We work so hard.

Online socials really just don’t hit as different as in real life socials, but until this pandemic is over, it’ll be like this for a while. Anyways, our social with Clovis North High School was really fun. It was really interesting to have a social with a school that isn’t in our division because they were all relatively new faces. The board social we had beforehand really did help to break the ice because it would have definitely been awkward to interact with the Clovis North board during the social if we had just met for the first time. Moving on, the first activity we played was Kahoot and it was very entertaining to watch our members try and guess which board members were in certain photos. The second game we played was SO much fun. To be honest, I have no idea what it was called, but it was very entertaining. Basically, the game was an interactive story where members could choose what they wanted their “character” to do. It was really fun and was a great way for members to interact. On behalf of myself and probably some other board members, if you went to the social and saw some cursed pictures, let’s just pretend you didn’t. After we played games, we all worked on our cards and got the chance to socialize. Overall, I really did enjoy the social and I hope all the members that attended did as well. I hope to

For this month, we had a social that was different because it was with a club outside of our division. The people on board had a social before the actual social, so it would be less awkward and it definitely was a big help. The officers answered questions from a chart and played games, which was fun, since everyone was outgoing. For the social, it started with a KaHoot that included questions about Key Club and our officers. Then, everyone went to their breakout rooms and we played a game, where we had to save Jennifer Vo for some reason. Not going to lie, I found it extremely funny and I got a good amount of embarrassing memes of our board now, but hopefully our members found it just as hilarious as I did. We were supposed to be making cards during the game, although I got distracted and only made one, so that was sad. Then, more people came into our breakout room, so I got confused, but I think our breakout room got combined with another breakout room. I’m not completely sure, but then, it just got super awkward after that. Am I allowed to say that? Although, aren’t all online social somewhat awkward. Anyways, I hope others enjoyed the social and hopefully we can do something like this again in the future.
