text: First extracurricular activities are great for meeting new people, and making new friends. Everybody there will share some of the same interests as you because they chose an activity that they enjoy and that you enjoy too . In one of my experiences I met one of my best friends doing running club. The friends I made there turn into being friends in school and in following years. If your fine with the friends you have then you can just do the same one as your friends. Some of the people you may have never met like the same things as you.
