<p>Wow, nice responses. My resume as of now is very weak… in terms of extra curricular activities. Help me out and suggest what I can do. I can’t afford to just “Live for once” Come on</p>
<p>Do something really great. Something that you really love.
Volunteering is still a good idea. You just need to do it for the right reason. If there’s something you are passionate about, you can tailor it to volunteering. For example, I like singing… so my junior summer, I went to nursing homes with my church and sang songs to the elderly/sick. There you go. That looks great on a resume and I had a great time.
Find something you like and do it.</p>
<p>Oh, heres a legit idea: get a job. So you have work experience and so that you have plenty of money to spend when you’re out all night with your friends when you’re struck down with senioritis mid second semester.</p>
<p>I’m interested in Bio stuff, so I applied to biomedical research at Cal State Fullerton through my AP Bio teacher, but if I get rejected I have no backup plan for that</p>
<p>I would like to do something like that - some kind of reaserch program, but don’t know how to look for one.</p>
<p>I am also interested in coaching basketball for little kids, but also don’t know how to find one.</p>
<p>I would like to do hospital volunteering but it’s difficult to find available hospitals. Everywhere is full.</p>
<p>I think I’m going to get rejected from every summer program I applied to (I only have one left and I did a poor job on that b/c I didn’t care that much), so I’m worried about this.</p>
<p>Maybe I’ll write a novel. I think my aunt could get me published pretty easily. Or maybe I’d do a collection of short stories. Something, I don’t know. And I want to give blood a lot.</p>
<p>I love to volunteer, so ill volunteer, yay! Im going to try to get a meaning ful job and hopefully earn some savings/spending money. Its nice to plan out your summer, but it just sucks the fun and spontaneity of freedom out of you. And it is obvious that you are tryign to squeeze in everything purely for College App’s sake. So I would say, just do want you want.</p>
