text: Another great reason on why extracurricular activities are good is because it allows students to spend time with their friends outside of school. Most students don't live close to their friends from school and won't be able to see them much outside of school. But, if two or more friends decide that they all want to participate in an extracurricular activity, then they would get to see each other more often and get new friends from the extracurricular activity. After students graduate, they likely will very rarely see their friends from school, and might remorse on the time they wasted not spending time with their friends. That's why extracurricular activities are a great way to spend time with friends.
