I found my answer by being on the receiving end of this networking. One day last spring, while I buried my head in a biology textbook, a classmate, who I barely talk to outside of class, slid into the chair facing me. With a huge grin, she dragged me into a conversation:
“Hey Leo!” she exclaimed. “Long time no see!”
I raised one eyebrow, since we had just met in class about two hours ago. But she appeared unfazed and happily continued:
“What are you working on?”
I pointed at my textbook and replied: “Eh, not much. Just some bio .”
My classmate stretched her eyelids as far as they could open, revealing a pair of gleaming eyes. She clapped her hands together and gushed, “Oh, that’s so cool that you’re taking bio! I love bio! Back in high school, I was a research assistant for a professor at Yale! Oh man, I was slaving in the lab every day. It was SOOO much work, you know?”
“Reeally…?” I replied, grasping at an appropriate response. “But how come you’re a political science major now?”
Her grin, which was already covering half her face, grew wider.
“Oh you know, life happens. I just decided to volunteer one day for my local city elections, just to see what it’s like. Next thing I know, I get suuuper involved in the entire campaign. And I was like, I don’t know the first thing about politics, but it is so cool. And so here I am.”
