What extracurriculars are YOU in?

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>so my school isn't the most supportive school in the world when it comes to extracurriculars and widely-known clubs, ie. DECA, FBLA, JSA, HOSA, etc. I'm thinking of founding/helping in founding DECA, FBLA, and JSA before I graduate.
we have key club, mock trial, and debate that's about it.
all other clubs are small or fun clubs like pokemon club and burrito club.</p>

<p>so i'm wondering.
what extracurriculars are you in?
if possible, can you put the years you were in it?
outside extracurriculars count too :P
thanks!</p>

<p>What does burrito club do?</p>

3

<p>sleeping, 17 yrs. you want passion? you want commitment?</p>

<p>burrito club orders burritos and eats. sometimes they cook their own burritos and learn how to wrap it.
they try variety of burritos.
i think its a pretty useless yet fun club.
im looking for clubs that i might be able to found that are actually education related.</p>

5

<p>How about taco club?</p>

6

<p>Um. I am part of the varsity tennis team and speech and debate. I’m part of the Improve Troupe and act in plays. I am an ambassador and leadership positions of many volunteer/community service type groups. I’m the co-founder and co-president of a Screenwriting club. I’ve done everything listed for my freshman and sophomore years (currently a sophomore), except for the screenwriting club. I started that this year.</p>

<p>This year (with my school):

<p>I’m in the Spanish Club and FBLA. I’m also going to try to volunteer with something invloving reading/literarcy.</p>

<p>In order of descending importance/enjoyableness:
DECA
Invisible Children Club

I want to found an HPAlliance at my school, but I’m afraid we’d get harassed. :/</p>

12

<p>Environmental Science Club (officer!)
Key Club
Mentoring
Class Council
Habitat 4 Humanity
French NHS
NHS</p>

<p>I want to quit H4H though, because their main fundraising is from begging relatives for money, which I dislike, but all the other effing clubs have taken all the good ideas. Ugh</p>

<p>We have an HPAlliance at my school :3 There are 75-ish members, it’s pretty popular. They’re organizing a Quidditch team, A Midnight viewing, and they already had a Yule Ball. It’s pretty fly</p>

<p>Not to change the subject, but even more interesting:
What EC’s did you/will you leave * out * of your college application?</p>

<p>For me,
International Club
Diversity Club
Harry Potter Club
Stage Crew</p>

<p>My EC’s are (I am a freshman): JSA, Scholastic Bowl, Yearbook, Reusable Bag Promotion Club, Model UN, Winter Musical, editor for Polyphony H.S, Newspaper, and Ethics Club.</p>

<p>@daretorun, why would you leave our stage crew, diversity club, and international club?!</p>

16

<p>Future Doctors of America
Environmental Club
Cancer Fundraising Club
Key Club
Athletes for Charity
Boy Scouts of America
Photography Club
Volunteering at local hospital
Lacrosse</p>

<p>I have to chuckle at the massive strain a majority of the students on this forum put themselves through with extracurriculars. I can tell that most on here just do extracurriculars to add another thing on their shopping list of an application.
As for myself? I’m a sophomore, and right now I’m a prominent member of my Thespian troupe and the vice president of PeacePals, an international communications effort. I could join more, except

  1. Being one of the most involved drama people at my school requires 3/4ths of your schooldays staying after school until 4:30-7. I do it because I love it.
  2. I don’t want to waste my time with activities I don’t enjoy doing.</p>

Certain extra curriculars aren’t taken seriously at my school. This leaves me with a plentiful amount of free time. For example, last year I joined math league and was the captain for one of the two freshman teams. At my school, math league only meets once every month which is great for me because I have the captain position and spend minimal time actually being w/ the team.</p>
