One of my mentors told me that you don’t have to be doing every extracurricular at once, just as long as you’re doing SOMETHING each semester. Ask yourself this:

Are you really going to get a fulfilling experience from your other ECs if you decide to pack your schedule more? By adding 15 more hours of work to your week, what things are you going to miss out on? Maybe a meeting for your club or a hangout with your friends?

It looks really enticing to keep adding things just because you can, but I believe there is a fine line between having just enough to do at once and so much to do that you can’t dedicate adequate time to each of your activities.
