I agree 100% with @bopper that “not all ‘who has the most clubs, wins’. It is better to achieve something in fewer clubs than just be a member of a zillion clubs.”

With that in mind, I think that you are wise to be evaluating your activities now that you are a “non-freshman.” Often CC posters talk about your “story.” Who are you? What makes you tick? What makes you You? Assuming you are a sophomore, you still have time to gain depth in whichever activities you choose to pursue–to tell your story.

I would encourage you to think of the two or three most defining characteristics of your story, e.g., athlete/debater/community volunteer; musician/STEM/language aficionado; or creative writer/environmental activist. If you can identify your most important interests, you can then align your clubs to best fit your story while not spreading yourself too thin.
