I did lots of things, as I could remember, I attented thee National Day of Youth here i the Philippines, I also participated in the Gawad Kalinga (it's an orgamization which gather youths together and build homes for the needy, I also did lost of writing in school, I am actually part of the school publication team, I am also sent to different schools for different competitioins, that's some of the extra curricular activities that I did.\n\nWrting a humor column for the newspaper and literary arts magazine and being a member of the advertising group of your campus, whoa! that's a lots of extra curricular activities already, only a very few people are given the oppurtunity to write in a newspaper, being part of a literary team of an arts magazine is a tough task.\n\nAll that you did now are extra curricular and hanging out with friends after school and listening to hippies music and going to concerts are still considered "extra", right?

If you are looking to do something which will assist in getting into college continue to work and do volunteering as well. Colleges always look at extracurricular activities when viewing applications. It takes more now than just high grades and an employment record. As young as you are you have high levels of energy and lots of time. You should take advantage of not having any personal responsibilities other than school, employment and use your time wisely. Don't get caught up in the partying and other irresponsible behaviors so many youth do these days. It will really harm your chances of gaining entry into good universities.\n\nGood luck and much happiness always.

Last year I was tutoring two kids from high school who were taking college courses. They both went to Harvard. One was the highest and the other was 3rd in his class at a top high school. They each had over 2300 on the SAT. They each had won a national gold medal in a tough science competition. One was captain of the math team and a soloist in the school orchestra on two instruments, the other one was captain of the debate team and a champion cross country runner (4th in state). They both acted in the school plays, and both of them were active in their churches and were leaders in student groups that did charity work with homeless people. \n\nWhat great kids! But the real thing about them was they were passionate about everything they did. That is the kind of kid who gets accepted to Harvard, and that is the kind of kid who belongs there.

My high school days were some of the best of my life...granted, I just graduated a few years ago, but still--sometimes I would give anything to go back.  Go ahead--have fun! :-)

yes. mostly every college has extracurricular activities. have you researched the schools? they may tell you. also, look around and see if you can request a catalog from the schools, they will also help.\n\n\n\nhttp://www.fitnyc.edu/aspx/Content.aspx?menu=Future\n\nhttp://www.fidm.com/

A lot of fun, it feels nice to be more independent. Partying is fun, but do be careful, you grades can suffer. College is the best years of school, at least I think.

I don't think there is any one thing to do. Here are some things to do:\n\nGet very good grades in high school.\nGet high scores on the SAT or ACT.\nHave a well-rounded high school career--do some community service, participate in leadership activites, and participate in school organizations.\nEmphasize your talents and gifts in academic and/or social domains.\nWrite a well-crafted personal statement that explains who you are and why you would be a good fit for the college.\nGo visit the college and talk to the admissions officers about the school.\nIf you know someone who went to the ivy league schools that you want to apply to get them to recommend you.\n\nHope this helps.

Most people don't, but I had to wear a uniform up through 8th grade, and follow a fairly strict dress code up through high school.  I don't now in college, and I'm glad for that, but I think it was really useful when I was younger.  My schools were comparatively small, and the cliques weren't fun.  It was good not to have to worry what other people would think about the clothes I wore.  Though I don't know if I would have said so at the time, I think it might also have kept us just a little more focused on the academics.
