Question: I'm in four clubs purely for college. I don't enjoy any of them and feel miserable all the time. Help!?
I'm a sophomore in high school and I've been in 4 clubs since the beginning of my freshman year. I joined them not because I liked him, but because I knew that having extracurriculars is paramount when applying to colleges.
At the moment, I'm one of the editors of my school newspaper and I despise the responsibility. I'm expected to write at least 1-3 articles a month and it's stressful (I don't like to write). I also have 2-5 hours of homework a night, so I nearly never have any time to hang out with friends.
I'm also in chess club, baking for the homeless, and student government. I find all of those clubs monotonous and dull. I feel like I don't get any recognition for all the time I devote to them.

Overall, I'm in those clubs because I want to apply adcoms when applying to college. Next year, I'm planning on joining three more clubs (none of which I particularly like). I honestly don't know how I'll survive junior year with 7 clubs and 5 AP classes. Should I quit some of the clubs I'm in now?

Answers:

What kind of person would expect you to do this. Quit the chess club and baking for the homeless. Student government and newspapers are respectable. Enjoy your life, you're a victim of a pompous system.



joining clubs is a good way to get a college's attention but putting too much on your plate will give you a stomach ache and that's no good. but no really if you feel that its too much stress then you should just leave one or two then you would even do better at the other ones. try to go for quality not quantity.
