text: Many people would argue that extracurricular activities are a great way to make new friends and have fun. I agree that is what after school activities are suppose to be like but some people don't like the idea of staying at school any longer then they already do. Another thing is that what if you choose a activity but it is already full so you are auto assigned to a activity you don't like. Some people might just quit the activity and find one they like outside of school, but you have to stay in your assigned group because it is mandatory.
