text: Another reason you should do extracurricular activities is that it is a great way to make friends. With plenty of options, picking shouldn't be hard, so once you have selected an activity, you will be grouped with people who also picked the same thing you did. Chances are if you both like one thing, you will like another. I personally have made tons of friends and met so many people through extracurricular activities, so I'm sure you will too. You never know, you could meet someone that will be your friend for the rest of your life.
