My daughter also felt over loaded by the time she got to Cornell. Initially she told me that she was going to focus on her schoolwork, stop ballet, stop doing volunteer work, or be involved with the school. Another word, she just wanted to do what she wanted to do for a change (she thought some how she didn’t enjoy any of those things).

She didn’t do much her first semester, then she joined a dance club second semester, started teaching dance off campus, and joined a sorority. Every semester she just became more and more involved with the school and her handful of ECs. As a senior, she is on the student counsel, peer leader for freshmen (don’t remember the exact name for it), some leadership role at her sorority and her dance club.

Don’t be too anxious about having to get involved with clubs right away. In college it is not as important to have to pad your resume to get into a medical, law, or other graduate schools. Do what you like to do, and it will come together for you.
