<p>First of all, thnx for clicking onto here and PLEASE read this through??</p>
<p>I've been browsing through these threads lately and I see people who are in 10 clubs, 2 sports teams, 2 or 3 math/science teams, tutors people, volunteer somewhere, works every week and plays instrument.</p>
<p>Personally, I don't understand how this is humanly possible.</p>
<p>I go to the 20th best High School in the U.S. (ranked by U.S. Weekly)
It takes me 1hr and 30 min to get to school everyday and another 1.5 hr back.</p>
<p>I leave home at 6am and school ends at 3:40 pm</p>
<p>I am in the oceanography team, astronomy club, philosphy club and (will join) rowing team.</p>
<p>Here is the schedule layout (I do hav leadership roles, but didn't bother to specify)</p>
<p>1st Term:
Mon, Fri - Oceanography
Wed. -Philosophy
Thurs - Astronomy
Tues - math contest we have once in a while are always on tuesdays</p>
<p>2nd Term
Mon, Wed, Fri - Rowing
Thurs - Astornomy
Wed - Philosophy (have to also share this day with Rowing practice)
Saturday - Rowing</p>
<p>I get home at around 6:30 pm, and after everything (eat, hws, etc) I sleep at around 11-12 pm</p>
<p>I babysit almost all the time on Saturdays (my sister) and because of ALL these work, Sunday is my rest day.</p>
<p>PLUS, during vacation weeks, I will have like 4 projects, 3 essays, tons of homeworks and tests to study for, I barely have time for anything else.</p>
<p>How is it humanly possible for some1 to have like 30+ things in their laundry list aka ECs.</p>
<p>I'm really serious, can someone who does have like 30+ ECs please tell me how it is done?? </p>
<p>ALSO</p>
<hr>
<p>My interest: Astrobiology - search of extraterretrial life in the universe and the origin of life.</p>
<p>Philosophy - questioning our existence, why do we exists on Earth? (philosphical and scientific aspects)</p>
<p>Oceanography - studying the ocean, the first oasis for life</p>
<p>Astronomy - studying different stars and planetary systems for possible signs of life, and also provides knowledge into human origins</p>
<p>Rowing - a mental and physical challenge so that I can discover the true limit of my body and how the mind can surpass the body (kinda)</p>
<p>Therefore, if I piece my ECs together, do you think this says something about me? Does my ECs now make sense? </p>
<hr>
<p>Also can these be considered HOOKS?</p>
<p>1) I'm the only person in my immediate family that speaks English
2) I'll be the 1st person in my immediate family to ever attend college</p>
<p>BUT does these hooks gets cancelled out by the following
1) Asian
?????????</p>
<p>so, what do YOU think of my ECs?</p>
