no matter which college you attend, you\u2019ll have the opportunity to participate in tons of extracurricular activities. it\u2019s hard to choose between all of them! but it\u2019s very important to make sure you don\u2019t overcommit. try to compromise and strike a balance.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
find a list of all of the student organizations and decide which ones you want to participate in the most. that way, you\u2019ll know your top priorities, rather than trying to focus on a million different things that you might not even like that much.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
actually attending a meeting or two will help you figure out which student groups you actually want to be a part of and which ones you can live without. you never know, you may end up hating your number one choice or loving a group you signed up for on a whim.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
before making any promises, ask about time commitments. you don\u2019t want to sign up for 4 groups that all have weekly meetings.<\/p>\n
if you really want to participate, but don\u2019t think you\u2019ll have the time, find out if you can somehow take a position with less responsibility. for example, sign up to be a staff photographer for a magazine, rather than trying to be a creative director and attempting to run the whole department.<\/p>\n
