What is one thing you wish you do/did in high school?

I’m curious: what is one activity that you wish you tried out/were a part of in high school? Why? :slight_smile:

I wish I had joined my math club sooner. I only joined it junior year and only became active in it this year, and I feel like I would’ve made a lot more friends in high school if I had joined the club during freshman year.

I wish i knew what i wanted to major in before recommendations next year. Im in 9th grade.

I sometimes wish that I continued marching band my junior year instead of dropping out of it after my sophomore year and rejoining senior year. I would’ve had greater connections with my band friends.

I wish I had gone out for at least one sport or club this year. All my friends do something after school but I just go home and watch Netflix all day. (HS freshman, btw)

I wish I would have continued with Band, I dropped it after 3 years in middle school because I hated the idea of having to memorize different songs for marching season, however seeing the band members and the friendships they’ve formed as a result of being in band makes me regret my decision sometimes. I’m currently a junior.

I wish I understood the importance of grades before junior year. It easy for your GPA to drop, but hard to bring it up much by junior/senior year.

Gone to more football and basketball games. Also, finish up with the ACT/SAT sooner as that took away from college app time

i just wish i’d gotten more involved. i’m graduating this year and i wish i’d gotten more involved in clubs and student government and school spirit activities.

I wish I had tried out for color guard or cheerleading. it would have forced me to be more active and more social and make a lot of friends.

I wish that I had taken 3 years of Spanish. I was really good at Spanish and enjoyed it, but since 3 years wasn’t required I didn’t take it. However, I got waitlisted for my dream college and that could be a reason why.

I wish I had done a sport, there was a huge sports culture / sports team bonding at my school and I thought it was dumb until this year and especially now, during 4th quarter where i’m sad and nostalgic. i could have actually made varsity badminton this year but oh well. also chairing my school’s relay for life event sooner - i didn’t start volunteering for it until this year, i participated every year - and putting it together is a ton of fun.

I wish I did more extracurricular activities (both inside and outside of high school).
I also with I was more consistent academically.
