Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>It's around 2 AM (the time on the top left is obviously a lie) and i'm still doing school work. It's very entertaining, I swear. Now, as i'm sitting here deciphering whatever the hell derivatives are, I started to think about my extra-curricular activities, which of course, happen to be fantastic! Not really.Though, granted, some of them are rather enjoyable, to the point where that's all I want to do. </p>

<p>Last year, I decided my old high school happened to be the epitome of desolation and/or boredom, so I left. And I am now attending School for Advanced Studies (a super awesome program where you get to experience exhaustion, Insomnia, and narcissism, all at once). At this point, this is you:*<em>What makes this any different than your other school? *</em> </p>

<p>P: <----that's you. </p>

<p>In my old high school, I was part of many different extra curricular activities (6 of them, I was an officer in 3 of them), but frankly, they all bored me to tears. Now i'm afraid that that will happen again this year! How exciting! So. All I want to do, is just write in this nice little satirical newspaper club I founded. That's it. I don't want to be a part of the silly FBLA club, I don't want to cooperate with the engineering club/bible club to make sticks into a quantum physics representation of Jesus, or do I EVER, want to hear anything about the baking club brewing yet another magical cupcake concoction to bribe the student body for school government/council votes. I just want to write things: funny things, entertaining things, controversial things, depressing things, happy things, any-thing. </p>

<p>And would like to know if that's cool with universities, particularly those that enjoy throwing around full scholarships (<em>cough</em> Ivy league <em>cough</em>).</p>

<p>Unilateral rarely works for adcoms. Doesn’t mean you have to be bored. Go find other things to occupy your free time- get that writing published in legit venues, tutor or mentor, volunteer with the needy or for a non-profit, whatever. What <em>cough</em> Ivies like is kids who can find solutions. Kids who can climb out of their own very particular, narrow comfort zones and go have some impact. That’s more than just pursuing an interest- and more than holding a leadership title.</p>

<p>I’d say switch the plus sign with a minus sign and you have it all figured it out.</p>
