Just Another Org

Just Another Org

Written By: Hallie Kim

The life of a business major,

apps, interviews, endless labor.

Rejections phrased as “best of luck,”

A cycle built to leave you stuck.

Then HBA appears, no forms to send,

No interviews, no need to pretend.

BHP kids get “auto-admit,”

So most just scroll and don’t think twice about it.

Freshman Hallie, free at six,

No plans, no clubs, no social fix.

Walks in expecting nothing new,

Just one more meeting to sit through.

But company dinners changed the tone,

Suddenly I wasn’t sitting alone.

Icebreakers turned into inside jokes,

Late-night talks with driven folks.

BHP Kickoff brought games, no sleep,

Memories stacked in hours I’ll keep.

What felt like “just another name”

Started to feel like something I’d claim.

Then comms committee sealed the deal, 

Group chats, Canva, jokes that feel real.

Faces once strangers, now friends I trust,

All from an org I joined by “just because.”

I thought HBA was filler space,

A default line I didn’t chase.

But sometimes the thing you don’t pursue

Is the one that ends up shaping you.

Funny how the org I didn’t chase

Became the one I’d never replace.
