I'd just like to take this opportunity to say that you should really look at what/who you're investing your time in. Are you willing to make time for the important people in your life? Even more importantly, are they willing to make time for you?
Before I even started college I was told to invest myself in a few things because I'd want to involve myself in everything and eventually stretch myself beyond my limits and I'd be unhappy. Everyone emphasizes the importance of the organizations you join, but what about your friends? Your friends are important. They always say that you meet your bridesmaids in college, those are the girls that you know will stick by you, no matter what they're going through or what you're going through. I want a friend who is willing to be there for me no matter what.
Finding your lifelong friends is sometimes like finding your prince, you'll find quite a few toads before you find the real thing. Do your friends encourage daily no matter what you do? Would you trust that your friends would tell you that you're doing something stupid even if you don't want to hear it? Will your friends spend time with you in any way possible, if it's just studying silently together? Will your friends try and protect you from anything? If you can't answer yes to these questions about your best friends, I would recommend getting new ones. People that you would identify as 'friends' are about as ordinary as a $1 bill. 'Best friends' are as extraordinary as a $1 million check that Oprah made out to you personally. Start looking for a friend who inspires and challenges you to be better in every aspect of your life, a friend who will help you work through your toughest trials and will love you to the moon and back, because that will be your truest friend.
Proverbs 18:24 "A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."
