Can I quit my ECs now?

Two thoughts:
self-serving motive:
Some CCers have mentioned transfering after freshman year and the fact that they then have to go back to their high school references. It would be nice if those people still like you a year from now, and don’t think of you as the kid who quit everything at the first opportunity.

altruistic motive:
You made a commitment so follow through. Especially with organizations that count on you to lead, or set a good example through the end of the semester. When organizations loose momentum because volunteers drop out, it is hard on the next gruop of leaders. Hang in there and do the kids behind you a favor.

It’s only a couple of months. Finish strong and hold your head up.
