Creative ECs...HELP!

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I really want to go to college and study either journalism, classics, or creative writing, so it is really important that I have good ECs that reflect that...Any ideas??????????????????????????????????????????????</p>

<p>Right now all I have is this:
BigBrothers/Bigsisters
Aloha Club
Kiwins
Science Club
Junior Tennis Club
School newspaper (i start this year)</p>

<p>I am thinking about joining Interact club, starting guitar lessons, volunteering at the YMCA, and joining spanish club.......but i really want something that shows how much i love english</p>

<p>Do you have a yearbook club? That would probably also help.</p>

<p>I am in a similar situation... i love creative writing, but none of my ec's reflect that. I have pursued it very extensively on my own, however, and I will focus my essays on this. If you love writing enough, then a lack of a club won't stand in your way.</p>

<p>OMG what should i do next to please colleges??!!! Help!!!! I have no interests of my own, only the interest to get into an ivy league college by being a superficial overachiever!!!!! Does anyone have any more clubs i can possibly join to show my awesome well-roundedness and involvement??!!!</p>

<p>Newspaper/Yearbook/Literary magazine
Some schools have Classics clubs; you might want to start one if your school doesn't have it.</p>

<p>What grade are you in?</p>

<p>i will be starting my junior year this fall</p>

<p>my friend and i are avid volunteers for the american red cross...she loves creative writing too and started a youth newspaper/magazine thing. actually, just start one. anywhere! make a <em>zine</em>....wooooo...</p>

<p>Is there any reason you didn't do newspaper starting your freshmen year? Was there a grade limit, a schedule problem, etc? You could have freelanced or self-auditioned (write a story by yourself and turn it in) your way in if those were the problems...</p>

<p>cheemonkey's adivce is good, but its not uncommon for many "unique" seeking students to abuse the idea. They just start something for their resume, and don't do much with it: for example with the magazine, a student will publish one or two articles now and then and that's it, and make it seem like some huge importance/time consumer in their resume.</p>

<p>yeah, it's only open to 11th and 12th graders... I wouldn't mind starting a magazine though. I sure love reading them :) and writing for one after college has always been a dream of mine. How would you go about starting a 'zine'? People at my school don't exactly like to read, and I'm not sure if I have ever actually seen someone READING the school paper. Thanks a lot for all the input so far :) :) :)</p>
