After you have experienced the glories of Latin Convention, a deep hole may be left in your heart. This is called post-convention depression (PCD). You practically do not want to do anything except return to the hotel and spend time with your new friends from across the state. There are a few things you can do to help remedy the sadness:

1.

Make a PCD post on Facebook

Give shout outs to the friends you

have made. Recount the jokes,

laughs, and happy moments.

2.

Create promo materials

These can be fliers, slideshows, videos,

et cetera to encourage current and future members of your Latin Club to attend convention. Also, just talk about convention; conversations spark interest in a lot of people.

3.

Take a nap!

You probably need to catch up on some very important sleep.

4.

Make A List of Projects You Want to Try

These can be fliers, slideshows, videos, et cetera to encourage current and future members of your Latin Club to attend convention. Also, just talk about convention; conversations spark interest in a lot of people.

5.

Look at Pictures

Look at the pictures you may have taken throughout convention while eating some comfort food and trying not to cry.

6.

Beg your parents to let you go to NJCL Convention over the summer!

7.
