For most, college requires a greater amount of coursework than high school, which means less free time and more stress.
It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the reading, essays, lab work, etc., and to feel that you have little time for the sort of extracurriculars you used to pursue in high school.
However, if you can make the time, even for just one club or group, the out-of-classroom activity can be a good way to de-stress and is valuable in the college experience. Remember, while your courses are important, ensuring you gain other experiences in college is vital, too.
Below is list of tips for finding, joining, and starting a club:
It’s ok to sign up for a club or attend a few meetings without fully committing yourself. Most club leaders do not expect the entire e-mail list or all of those in attendance at the first meeting to continue to actively participate throughout the year.
That being said, it’s a good idea to try a lot of different clubs and narrow down your priorities to a couple favorites later.
Becoming seriously involved in just one or two clubs will prevent you from spreading yourself too thin.
