<p>I don't have a lot of extracurriculars. Maybe 1 or 2, stretching it. But I do a lot of random things outside of school/community service...for example, I go hiking with my friends a lot, and while it's not a major activity, it does show a side of me that the rest of the application doesn't, and I could elaborate on what I've learned on those hikes. Would writing on hiking for my short answer be viewed as different or just a cop-out from writing on my "real", listed ECs with hours on them? (I definitely could write on those, as well.)</p>
