Look at graphic arts. If you enjoy seeing
graphic arts at state convention, you will
also want to see projects at nationals. The
projects at nationals are outstanding, and
you can also register your graphic arts
entries.
Bring your yelling voice. Spirit at OJCL
convention is fun, but spirit at nationals is
much more energetic. The OJCL delegates
are competing against other states to be the
loudest. Note, you may want to bring a
drink to refresh your voice after shouting.
Try Ludi/Olympika. At nationals, you have
an opportunity to participate in sporting
events, like track, field, swimming, and
much more. Those would be considered
Olympika. However, if you are not athletic
or that competitive, you can participate in
Ludi. Either way, you could still meet
someone and become friends.
Try to get some sleep. Every night, there is
fellowship, and you end up getting back to
the dorms late at night, but try to sleep.
You want to make sure you’re well rested
for all the fun activities that happen during
the day and maximize the time socializing
with others.
