<p>Hi all, young and old. :) I am currently a senior residing in the tri-state area. I'm preparing to apply for colleges, however I have a few questions before I begin my process. I'm preparing a recommendation worksheet to pass along to my professors and guidance counselors. </p>

<p>My question is: what's the difference between community activities and community service?
I understand the concept of service well. I do not, on the other hand, understand activities. Does this mean church and so on? </p>

<p>As for my second question, college applications requires me to fill out information about my parents. My mother is my only parent and she is unemployed at the moment. For employer/occupation, what exactly do I put?</p>

<p>Thanks,
cheers and good luck to all of the seniors applying to colleges.</p>

<p>It’s probably stuff you do in the community, kind of like school clubs but outside of school.</p>

<p>They don’t have a box for “unemployed?”</p>

<p>@honestysux: Ah, okay. So it is activities such as church- thank you.</p>

<p>Also- I am applying to USciences. The box is empty and there are no registered or default answers to check. I have to fill in the blank. So do I fill in “unemployed?” I am going to be the first person in my family going to college, so all of this is really confusing.</p>
