I'm a big subscriber to the ideas purported by Cal Newport about being less involved in clubs and more involved in what you're actually interested in, which I hope would be your major.

At the same time, though, I understand the beneficial experience that certain clubs can give. It all comes down to a certain attitude of involvement. Being involved in a bajillion clubs and activities is counterproductive, but involving yourself in activities that connect you with people that will help you in the long run is great.

Being focused on and involved in the classes and activities is a balance that everybody needs to find.
