How do I choose which extracurriculars to focus on?

Start by asking yourself one simple question: What do you actually enjoy? Not what looks good on a resume, but what makes you forget to check your phone for a solid hour. That’s a strong clue. Next, think about what aligns with your goals. If you’re aiming for a STEM program, maybe the science club gets a gold star. If you’re drowning in commitments, trim the list. Quality always beats quantity. Colleges want to see passion and commitment, not a random grab bag of activities. And don’t be afraid to quit something if it no longer fits. This isn’t loyalty to a snack brand. It’s your time. Spend it where it counts and where you come alive.
