A Letter to the Overcommitted

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Harvard chapter.

Dear G-Cal enthusiasts who have but no other option than to be G-Cal enthusiastists,

Dear club joiners, yes-sayers, and movement supporters,

Dear shopping week Lamonsters and club jugglers,

Dear venti red-eyers and caffeine pill consumers,

Dear task -tackling to-do-listers and last-minute livers,

Dear pre-med pre-mid-life crisers and pre-law pre-alcoholics,

 

I write to you with a sincere worry for your wellbeing. We have all been there, we’ve all signed up for the email lists,and we’ve all reached our breaking points. Just, a word to the wise, overcommitted Harvard students—

 

Don’t just do it for the resume, 

consider.. maybe..

doing less. 

You may find that you get more out of it.
