I am freeeaking out over ECs lately. (I’m a rising senior).
I don’t know how to stand out.
Besides a “Best Stage Manager” award, I’ve never won anything in my LIFE.
Theatre and film consume my life and I have NOTHING to show for it.
I basically live at the theatre at my school (I go to school at 7 am, then work in the theatre afterschool until 10pm during play seasons.) But all I have to show for it is “tech crew” with Stage Manager and Student Director for 2 plays. I write screenplays, but never win competitions or sell any of them.
Athletically, I’m nothing special -
-The rowing team at my school has JUST been made an official sport for my senior year, so technically, thats only one year on a Varsity team… (even though we competed varsity all 4 years…)
-And I do figure skate, but I am only a certified judge and haven’t gone to any sectional or national events.
I have also played the violin for 13 years, but I don’t “pursue” that anymore… (there’s no time to be in a Youth Symphony).
I feel like I look completely boring on paper, when really I never, ever sleep.
Any advice? input? Perhaps this is a pointless thread, but I just feel like my serious involvement with my ECs won’t show on my apps.
