<p>This is supposed to be really simple, but it's really nerve racking for me. I don't really know what to write in my Common App activity essay. I know I want to write about band, but every time I try it just ends up being crappy. If anybody can help, please do. Thanks.</p>
<p>Well, I wrote about sailing, which isn't technically an extracurricular activity that's listed elsewhere, but I love doing it. If you can't get band to turn out the way you like, try something that you just do for fun- it'll show a different side of you.</p>
<p>Good idea. I might write about reading now. Lol. I feel pretty dumb, but thanks a bunch.</p>
<p>No prob. You could make reading a cool essay. I mean, if nothing else, it's definitely honest and definitely you.</p>
