Why can't I be specific when listing activites?

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>The Common Application only gives me categories for Activity. How do I specify what the Activity is? For example, I was in History Club, and there's no space to put that in... -___-</p>

<p>Write the club name following your position, that is:</p>

<p>[choose the relevant category]
Member, History Club</p>

<p>or </p>

<p>[journalism/publication]
Photographer, School Newspaper</p>
