text: Some people think that extracurricular activities are a waste of time and energy. However, in my eyes, that couldn't be any further from the truth. There are plenty of extracurricular activities out there to try. You could join a sports team, try out for the school play, work in the yearbook committee, or join the student council. All of these activities have plenty of benefits: you can meet new people, learn something new, and you can have some fun.
