Is first semester too early to start joining clubs and student organizatons?
I am very excited about getting involved on campus, but I am a little worried about becoming overwhelmed. I know that I will need to time to adjust to life away from home, but I do not want to have too much on my plate. #getinvolved

I do not think it is too early to getting involved on campus. I think it is a great way to acclimate yourself. If you are worried about getting overwhelmed, I think that you should start small first. I would recommend going to a campus involvement fair if your college or university has it.

Hi Tarah - great question. Being a mom of a sophomore in college and a senior in high school, I can confidently say that my shy college daughter would totally vote for being as active with clubs and student organizations as possible right off the bat. I agree with that as it is everyone's fresh start and you all would be in the same boat therefore being involved and engaged early on would be less intimidating than later. Also as the academics get harder, freshman year is the time to explore freely without the stress that comes with being too entwined in course work as an upper class man. Good luck with everything.
