As I scrolled through my daily flood of emails, one stood out to me: “Vaccine Volunteer Opportunity.” I clicked on the email and located the Google form, hoping to add my name to a list of people willing to volunteer at Princeton’s vaccine clinic. Yet as I opened the form, I saw a number of application questions. The form required me to write nearly 750 words. I don’t have time for this right now, I thought. I’ll fill it out later. I never did.
