How to take a Ferguson Discovery class

"It was a great crash course on wedding planning and I learned some valuable information that I will be sure to use in planning my wedding or helping with others!"


How I did it: I finally decided that since I had been seeing fliers around campus advertising these classes, that I should just sign up for one. So I went to the Ferguson Center website, looked at the class offerings and picked one that looked interesting. It was only $5 so it was definitely affordable! I filled out the registration form online and all I had to do was show up at the time and place and pay when I walked in the door! It took two hours of my time, but I enjoyed myself and learned a lot. I'll be taking Yoga Basics next!


Lessons & tips: I have been wanting to take one of these classes since I was a freshman. I am a junior now. Take opportunities when you see them and don't wait as long as I did to take the steps to do it. Even if you have to go to a class or workshop by yourself, it is worth it!


Resources: Look on your local college or university student union website. They may have a hobby series like dance lessons, yoga, etc that you can take, even if you are not a student. If you go to the University of Alabama, go to ferguson.ua.edu and click on the Discovery Classes link. If you want ideas for a 2 hour crash course series, take a look at this website because they have some great offerings. 


It took me 2 days.


It made me happy!
