How can I get the most out of my college experience?
For all that I'm paying for college, and the years I will be here, I want to try and take every opportunity to get involved on campus, but I feel like I'm being spread thin. How can I balance the two?

Hi Zoe - give yourself grace, especially earlier in college. Assuming you attend college for four years there is plenty of time to explore different areas of interest (for academics, extracurriculars, etc.). I recommend leading with curiosity and seeing where that takes you.
I was really involved on campus when I was a student but I didn't start getting involved in those clubs until at least Sophomore year so you certainly have time :)

Zoe,
College is about trade-offs. You have to be sure you are keeping the focus on why you chose to go to college. Yes, for academic purposes and opportunities which college brings, e.g., leadership, learning, networking, etc. If you are feeling stretch thin, be sure to keep in mind your academic rigor and schedule. Best!
