text: Lastly, another great thing that can come from extracurricular activities is spending more time with your friends. If you and your friends join a sports team, you and your friends can get exercise, while spending time with each other. Also, you can do homework together with your friends, so if you need help, then your friends can help you out. Pretty good right? If you join a extracurricular activity, then you would have more time to hangout with your friends, while being benefited by either doing homework, playing a sport together, or even joining the student council.
