I kind of feel bad for the high schoolers who do all this shit. When do they rest and have free time? How the fuck do they stay on top of schoolwork, sports, and all other obligations? When do they have time for hobbies or being a kid or just plain having fun? Sounds like a recipe for burnout to me.

It becomes a laundry list of extra-curriculars because everybody is doing the same ones and now it’s a competition on who can do the most. Instead, college-bound students should start thinking outside of the box and find unique ways they can shine and elevate themselves. I didn’t going a bunch of clubs and organizations.That just wasn’t the kind of person I was and I really didn’t want to be at school longer than necessary. I joined the Thespian Society because doing theatre was the better option, but what I ended up doing was join my local volunteer fire & rescue department and became an EMT at 16. I think that in of itself made me competitive for college admissions. So instead of having to try to keep up with the overachievers and falling short, I forged a different path.

Honestly I'd advise anyone that age to put all that effort into learning German instead. College is basically free (there can be nominal fees), and that applies regardless of whether the student is from the EU or somewhere else in the world. Admissions are based on standard testing. So you can get a university education and international experience for the cost of living expenses and airfare.
It seems stupid to me to join a bazillion activities and do each of them half-assed, just so you can list them on your resume.
