Volunteer hours

I've been stressing heavily over my lack of volunteer commitment throughout undergrad. I've recently begun to volunteer more this semester in preparation for the upcoming cycle. I can obtain 100+ volunteer hours this semester alone, but my fear is that it would be viewed as a lack of commitment or cramming, because I do not have any activity I've been committed to for more than a semester. Bascially, would it make a significant difference if I had, say, 100 hours of a single activity over the course of 1 semester or if I hypothetically did those same 100 hours over the course of 2 years? I do have 40-50 hours of an activity from my first semester of college, but that was also only 1 semester, so I'm unsure if I should include that as well.
Edit: I didn't have any extenuating circumstances that prevented me from doing a lot of EC's.

Breadth over depth. Volunteering now to fill up your application for this cycle is fine. Just make sure to list other things in your application that explain why, like a job or shadowing in times where you weren't volunteering

If your stats are nice then you will be just fine.

Ah I see. I think I can do that. Thanks 🙂
