text: I also believe that this will be good for some of the students with mental health issues, it could also reduce stress. Student's that procrastinate and waste their time, have friends that do the same. They can meet new people with better habbits and join clubs to help overcome that so they can better their performance in school. Hopefully they can teach those students to do something now, your future self will thank you for. As for Colleges, they want to see personality, otherwise we're all just numbers, and colleges don't want numbers they want bright people. If you show leadership skills in clubs or sports, colleges will be impressed by it, because colleges need leaders, not followers. As for mental health, friends make you laugh and make you happy, feeling happy releases dopamines to your brain that that puts you in a great mood. Extracurricular activities helps people finish their work so they don't have to stress about it therefor reducing stress levels, dopamines reduce depression and anxiety so mental health issues don't become as big as an issue as it was before. In conclusion extracurricular activities can help students stop procratinating and have better time management. being with friends can reduce stress and mental health levels. Obstacles are meant to be overcome; so overcome them and succeed.Imagine your trying to decide on a hair color, Red, Green, Blue or Black? You have no idea. This is why sometimes you need multiple opinions on what to do. So you go around you ask friends their responses are all different you dont know what to do. So you have to find a another person to help you out.
