Extracurriculars might not be what you think. Take a step back and think about what you do in your free time. What interests you? How would you spend your perfect day?
Here is an example: I really love broadway musicals (Heathers, Hamilton, Mean Girls, you name it!). Now, interest is nothing on its own, but chances are when you are genuinely interested in something, you’ve done something with it. For me, I have become quite well known in a community that breaks down these musicals to talk about the development of the characters and the techniques that make specific musicals so great. Also, I’m actually working on composing my own musical complete with songs and a script, and while it is just a side project right now, I hope to submit it to a couple of contests and maybe even see it on stage one day.
Suddenly, I’m not just a kid who is interested in musicals anymore. THAT is an extracurricular that takes things to the next level. THAT is an extracurricular that gets you into GLADCHEMMS. Look at your interests in a different way, and change the way you think about “extracurriculars”.
