Its definitely not too late. Many students here in the States don't really have a chance to load up on extracurriculars until junior year because of needing to meet requirements to graduate. I only took one EC before junior year because I just didn't have room. You got this :)

EDIT: Many students also don't feel they have the time either. A part time job is nice because its an extracurricular AND a source of income.
