What is your favorite part of CSF? My favorite part of CSF definitely has to be interacting with people at events. Whether it’s making new friends or seeing the impact your volunteering has on others, the best parts of CSF come from actually being at events.

If you were an animal, what would you be and why? If I was an animal I would be a bear, mostly because I would want to live in the mountains and snow like they do. Bears also form friendships with each other, are great problem-solvers, and are extremely resilient. Plus, they love to eat berries and sleep—just like me.

What is your advice to someone unsure about joining CSF? My advice would be to just join. Regardless of if you think you’re too busy, not a good fit for the club, or anything else, you should at least join for a semester. CSF is a great way to meet new friends, or bond with existing ones, and makes it super easy to give back to your community while having fun. There’s also no harm in joining—even if you don’t reach 40 points you’re still a member and can reapply and try again next semester.

What is your most used emoji and what does that say about you? I think my most used emoji is the skull emoji because I use it when I’m making a joke or laughing at something someone else said. I think I tend to be pretty lighthearted, especially when texting, and my constant use of the skull emoji definitely represents that.

What does volunteering mean to you? To me, volunteering is a way to make the world a better place, one small step at a time. Volunteering helps me give back to my community, improve the lives of those around me, and even play a small part in fixing global issues.

Plus, you never know what cool experiences you might have or what great new people you might meet while volunteering!

What is your most used emoji and what does that say about you? So my most used emoji is apparently the crying emoji and I think a lot of that has to do with me texting about the Angels (my favorite baseball team as you can see from the photo lol) BUT DONT WORRY this year is still our year!!!

What does volunteering mean to you? Volunteering is so important to me because of the difference I know I can make in my community.

What is your advice to someone unsure about joining CSF? Join as soon as you can! That way, if you end up enjoying it, you get more time in the club.

I personally missed out on a bunch of fun events and a round of board applications because I joined too late. Hopefully if you're unsure of joining CSF like I was, this helps you make the right decision!

What is your most used emoji and what does that say about you? I use the party popper (🎉) emoji quite often—both as a playful alternative to the thumbs up emoji, and as a way to celebrate the wins of my friends and family. I think it says I make an effort to be a supportive and encouraging person.

What does volunteering mean to you? To me, volunteering is an act of both love and responsibility. It means a lot to get to take the time and effort of all the volunteers who have benefited us in the past and pay it forward. At the same time, I see volunteering as a chance to learn more about myself. Through the wide variety of events that CSF has to offer, I get to experience working with people of all different ages in different situations.

Even in seemingly small scale projects, we have the opportunity to contribute. I want to collectively give back and inspire others to make a difference as well. Even if it may be impossible to help every single person, there’s always somewhere to start and build from. Sometimes, that’s all it takes to create change.

What is your favorite part of CSF? Besides helping others (which is kinda the whole point), my favorite part of CSF is definitely the people. Connecting with like-minded students is one of the greatest joys I have in CSF because when I volunteer with my friends, it doesn't just feel like I am helping people, but also just hanging out with my friends. Through CSF, I’ve built friendships that go beyond meetings and service hours. We’ve shared experiences that are meaningful, memorable, and fun. Being surrounded by others who care about making a difference keeps me motivated and makes every project feel more purposeful.

If you were an animal, what would you be and why? I'd like to think that I would be a beaver. I think beavers, gophers, and other rodents are all really silly and cute, and a perk of being a beaver is their resourcefulness and hardworking attitude. They are always working pretty (dam) hard to build something important for structure, food storage, and community, and I'd like to think that I am building something through community service.

What is your advice to someone unsure about joining CSF? I would tell them that if they love getting to work with animals, people, and doing new and exciting things then they should just join!

What does volunteering mean to you? Community involvement has always been one of the greatest aspects of my life ever since I was young. As a ten year old, I went out with my siblings (who were in CSF/Interact), watching them tutor at Henderson Library, work at food banks, and garden. I didn’t fully understand it then, but I saw how fulfilled they felt after helping others. Now that I can volunteer myself, I realized that community service is not just about giving to others, its also about growing as a person. It’s taught me patience, compassion, and how even small actions can make a difference. For me, community involvement means showing up for others and helping build a stronger, kinder world.
