Extracurricular activities: How good is good enough?

<p>Okay, I know there are already a million threads like this, but I was wondering specifically about my extracurricular activities- I would really appreciate good comments/suggestions! At the moment, I'm in a dilemma as to if I should get myself involved in more clubs or if I should spend the time studying to get my GPA and SAT scores up. Your suggestions/comments will give me a better picture as to how I should plan the next two years at high school! Thanks!</p>

<p>not a real variety but like 2 more should do you good.
probably kick my *** with that taekwondo :(</p>

<p>how about time not worrying about college? You're definitely fine. If anything, you do WAY too much. Relax!</p>

<p>maybe you will realize when you are applying to colleges that you don't need to include activities that you only participated in during 9th or 10th grade(ie music mentor). you have plenty enough (and much more than me!)</p>
