How far do hobbies/interests count as extracurriculars?

<p>Hi! My extracurriculars aren't very strong, and I'm worried about them.
I have a lot of interests/hobbies, but I'm not sure if I can count them as extracurriculars. I know playing an instrument can count, but what about others? For example, does drawing for years, remixing songs, or taking videos count as extracurriculars? Do I have to do something impressive with them?</p>

<p>We’ve been over this in multiple threads recently. Maybe you can search for these discussions. IMO, things you do just for yourself, that have no engagement outside or where your impact or progress is a big question mark, are often not enough. You still have time to vol somewhere or mentor this fall or use your music at school or in the community.</p>

<p>they count as interests…i’d say that you could list drawing and maybe the other two you mentioned but don’t count on them as strong ECs. like the poster above me, it is better if theyre more “legit” ECs that help others etc.</p>
