Fresno State: Where Your Fun Degree Isn't Just a Dream (Although Lectures Can Be...)
Alright, alright, alright, so you're staring down the barrel of college applications (or maybe acceptance letters – congrats!) and wondering, "Is Fresno State all just textbooks and dorm room ramen?" Well, my friend, buckle up, because Fresno State's got a wilder side than a rogue squirrel with a caffeine addiction.

| What Activities Can You Participate In At Fresno State |
Clubs Galore: From Quidditch to Chess (Though Maybe Not Together)
Fresno State boasts over 200 clubs, so there's literally something for everyone. Want to channel your inner Hermione Granger and join the Quidditch Club? (Just BYOBroomstick). Feeling more strategic? The Chess Club is your haven for intellectual smackdowns (though hopefully the only thing getting knocked over is the king).
Feeling overwhelmed? Don't fret! Fresno State's Student Involvement Center is like your own personal social butterfly guide. They'll help you find your niche, whether it's debating politics in the Model UN Club or discussing the finer points of fermentation with the Kombucha Komrades (yes, that's a real club).
Unleash Your Inner Athlete (or Olympian…-ish)
Calling all jocks and wannabe jocks (or those who just need an excuse to wear cute athletic wear)! Fresno State has a smorgasbord of intramural sports, from the classic flag football throwdown to the slightly-less-common dodgeball dodge-a-palooza. Feeling fancy? Channel your inner lacrosse star or impress your friends with your rugby skills (just don't forget the mouthguard, unlike that one guy from that one movie...).
QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
Prefer competition with a bit more… structure? Check out the Club Sports scene! From soccer to cycling, you can hone your skills and maybe even snag a championship trophy (which would look mighty fine on your mantelpiece… or dorm room desk).
Party Like a Bulldog (But Maybe Not Literally)
Fresno State isn't all about hitting the books (although, you should probably do that too). There are endless events happening on campus throughout the year. From movie nights under the stars to live music throwdowns, there's always something to keep you entertained. Feeling fancy? Dress up for a themed ball or test your taste buds at the annual International Food Festival (pro tip: wear stretchy pants).
Need a break from the craziness? The Fresno State Arboretum is your oasis of calm. Take a stroll through the scenic trails, have a picnic lunch, or pretend you're on a nature documentary while trying to identify local wildlife (squirrels don't count… unless they're wearing a tiny top hat).
Tip: Write down what you learned.

How to Nap Like a Champion (Because College is Tiring):
Let's be honest, napping is an essential college survival skill. The library has some surprisingly comfy nooks (? don't tell everybody), or find a quiet corner in the Student Union to recharge those batteries.
