College List
These are rough drafts of my activities. Hopefully this list isn’t completely finished yet, lol, but we will see how this school year will take shape. I understand we can really only have 10 activities to list, and I have yet to decide what those will be, but I would like some help in how to word my activities to sound cohesive and valuable due to the limited character set within the Common App.
