text: Taking an extracurricular activity can also help a student make more friends. Extracurricular activities can do this, because everyone in their extracurricular, has that team or club as a common interest. Making friends in the same extracurricular activity as you, should be a little easier because you already know that they like that same activity as you. You could also feel more comfortable with them, because of the interest that you both share. Taking an extracurricular activity, and making friends in it, could help you make really good lifelong friends.
