Hey everyone! For most colleges and universities in the US, Extracurricular Activities are an important part of the application process. They want to know how you have spent your time outside of the classroom, and what talents and interests you have other than academics. Colleges want their students to be interesting people, ones that will participate in the variety of activities that are offered and help make their school a fun place to be.
Whether its sports, music debate, drama, or community service, or a part time job, pick something you like to do and get involved! It’s never too early to start! Don’t try to do everything. Pick a few activities that are your favorite and get involved in depth. Colleges like to see personal development and leadership within a few activities much more than a list of a dozen activities that you just tried out. As they say, quality is better than quantity!

Some of the extracurricular activities I have been involved in are 4 years on my school’s varsity tennis team and track teams, community service volunteer with the National Charity League, Model United Nations delegate, and of course, American Amanda blogger for the US Embassy in Oslo. Being involved with each of these areas for several years has given me the chance to hold leadership positions and win awards, plus feel like a had a chance to really make a difference in each one.
