Several students have mentioned this to me. The college admissions process taught them to think a stuffed resume was key for success. At the college level and beyond, however, quality in one thing is vastly more important than quantity. Furthermore, college-level activities are more time consuming. Making this mindset doubly damaging. Sue, thanks for the comment. Several students have mentioned this to me. The college admissions process taught them to think a stuffed resume was key for success.

Really liked the advice for non-drinkers and the other one regarding co-curricular activities. I made that mistake in high school- I joined too many activities in the first few weeks & wasn't able to back-out. It became a real struggle to juggle work & play. Finally I did quit some of those co-curriculars, but not without angering the members who thought it was rather flippant of me to do so. Now I know better. =) Just nice to see such solid advice in writing. It affirms what I learnt from my mistakes in high school. Thanks Cal! Smart advice!
