What is YOUR killer extra curricular?

Applying to College
1

<p>Thought I'd make this creative thread. Maybe the users of college confidential can learn from this. Try narrowing it down to atleast 3, since the common app asks for 7.</p>

<p>Mine are:
Year Book Creation: For 4 years, I created the entire yearbook on my own.
Publication: Publication in various forms (magazines, etc)
Athletics: National Chess Championship Attendee, And I do decent things in track. (Got city champion for triple jump)</p>

<p>Lame, but I don't have many chances/opportunities.</p>

<p>In other words, which extra curricular are you most proud of.</p>
