One of my biggest hobbies(obsessions) is juggling. Anytime I see round objects lying around I instinctively pick them up and start to juggle. I love juggling so much that before coming to college I decided that I would create a juggling club when I got there. Unfortunately, after scouring the campus for people to juggle with, I was only able to find four or five students, hardly enough to constitute a club, and so my dream of having a club slowly dissipated.

At the end of my freshman year I learned that one of my best friends from high school would be coming to my university. But not only was he one of my best friends, but he was also my only friend who was legitimately interested in juggling. Back in high school we created a juggling club (one that quickly failed), however we juggled a lot with each other and it helped us to progress both of our skills. After I learned that he was coming, my hope for creating a juggling club was quickly revitalized.

In the last few days, we have juggled every chance we got. Today we decided to juggle in the most high-traffic area we could find. Our hopes were that other jugglers would see us and come inquire about why we were juggling, and whether or not a juggling club existed. Now I had done this before (last year), and not much happened, so it was difficult for me to act too optimistic, but within five minutes we had already found a few club candidates. The ploy worked better than we ever could have expected, and I now hold in my hand a list of 15 students whom all seemed extremely interested in starting a juggling club. There were students practiced in all disciplines (from unicycle, to juggling, to poi), students from all parts of the university (from freshmen to second year graduate students), and students with all different levels of experience (from just starting, to extremely seasoned jugglers). I don't know how long it has been since I've been this excited. It looks like my dream of creating a juggling club will finally become a reality.
