7 Reasons Why You Should Join Spoon University at TCU

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at TCU chapter.

1. You have an excuse to Insta all your meals rather than just be basic.

Always taking pictures of your food is not only okay, but it is encouraged. These pictures can be used to help us write articles and are used to make up our foodstagram @spoon_tcu.

Everyone is expected to take pictures to help out with the Instagram. But if photography is your true passion, we are also looking specifically for photographers to join our team. Photographers are paired up with writers and are required to provide pictures for each article.

2. You’ll become the go-to person for all things food within your friend group.

As a Spoon staff member, you’re always in the know about the latest trends and best restaurants around campus. In addition, you’ve got the best hacks when it comes to on-campus dining since everyone is constantly sharing all their tricks.

If tracking trends is one of your interests, consider joining as a trends analyst under the editorial team. We are always trying to brainstorm the best possible articles ideas. As a trends analyst, you’ll help us figure out which article are doing best in the Spooniverse.

3. We eat a lot.

The only thing we do better than talking about food is eating it. We eat for social outings, meetings, and for articles. So basically it’s part of our job to eat—we’re not complaining.

4. It’s good for your resume.

There are so many valuable skills you will gain as a member of TCU Spoon University: communication, working with deadlines, collaboration, leadership, and much more. Depending on your position, you may gain skills specific to your interest such as writing, photography or film.

If you do not have a portfolio already, Spoon is a great way to start building one. How impressive does it sound to have an article with over 100,000 views or to be apart of planning an event that lead to campus-wide engagement?

5. You get to meet other people with a passion for food.

Only at Spoon will you find others who love food just as much as you do. It’s such an overwhelming joy to be able to be not judged by your crazy food creations, overconsumption of food, and passion for all things chocolate covered.

6. We throw cool events.

Each month we throw an event on campus, so that our fellow students can share our love of all things food. The possibilities are limitless. Should we taste test candy? Pass out donuts? Let’s brainstorm.

This is where our marketers and event planners come in. We need organized people who know how to get their stuff done. If this sounds like you, you should be clicking that “Join” button right now.

7. Did I mention we love food?

We love food so much, we want to share our knowledge and ideas with others around us. If all those slutty brownie recipes, BLUU hacks, and Bai drink rankings were left in one head, the world would not be a better place.
