That awkward moment when you realizes your ECs aren't as good as you thought

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>Yeaaaaaaaaaaah, just had that feeling, and it wasn't fun.</p>

<p>I've been pondering XC all summer now, I mean I've gotten really really good at distance running over the past months and maybe it's worth committing to. (EDIT - For the record, I'm not considering XC solely for admissions, I'm doing it because I think I may actually enjoy it since a few friends already do it. I don't do ECs for college, I do it for my own entertainment...)</p>

<p>EDIT *realize, you had thought. Okay, grammar police?</p>

<p>Sounds like you need to get yourself outside and start running!</p>

3

<p>Way ahead of you, just got back from five miles of running :O</p>

4

<p>Yeah. I have been getting this feeling a lot, especially since I have been on CC, and since i have started meeting several high schoolers in the city. It really sucks.</p>

5

<p>You are doing XC because you need EC’s, or you feel that XC isn’t a worthwhile EC? I’m afraid I don’t understand your angle.</p>

6

<p>So running is your big EC ? What else do you have ?</p>

7

<p>I play a lot of music, that’s my main EC. (And I mean… a lot)</p>

<p>I’m thinking about XC because I think I might enjoy running with other people, where in previous years I preferred only running alone.</p>

8

<p>Running takes up a ton of time so it’s kinda a big EC timewise</p>

9

<p>^ Trust me, I figured that part out a LONG time ago. :)</p>

10

<p>When I got Gonnerhea.</p>

<p>Nah I keeed.</p>

<p>When I got rejected for another term in student government</p>

11

<p>^ Are you kidding that you had it or are you really kidding that you only regret getting gonorrhea?</p>

12

<p>I’m a virgin^</p>

<p>I was kidding about having prostitution has my EC</p>

<p>LUL</p>

13

<p>^ Well I mean when you said “I keeeeed” I thought that I was implying sarcasm</p>

<p>But it’s all good :)</p>

14

<p>^ oh.</p>

<p>XD</p>

<p>It’s all good like a chicken wang :p</p>

15

<p>Doood, running is my only EC! I’m state-qualified in that XC ish. </p>

<p>Do it.</p>

16

<p>yup just felt that :frowning: I was applying for this program and it said list your ec’s and i was like blah, blah annnnnnd… oh wow what on earth have i been doing but no worries.
