What extra circulars do you do?

How do you lot answer this question? I literally do nothing. I hang out with friends, play sports and watch tv. I'm not even involved in any clubs simply because they're pointless.

I have 2 summers of BB experience and a high GPA but I'm not a nerd or anything. I'm just lazy and enjoy chilling wit ma bois.

HI FRIENDLY BOFH HERE. I HAVEN'T PUBLISHED- OR READ- A CIRCULAR IN YEARS, LET ALONE DO EXTRA ONES.

To answer the real question, you have to find something fun/exciting that 95% of the country would never think of doing. Here are a few ideas:

-Skydiving (most big schools have a skydiving club.) -Kitesurfing -Waterskiing/Wakeboarding -Any kind of racing that involves wheels (motorcycle racing, cross-country bicycle racing, etc.)

 

My gf ain't extra circular, so I guess that doesn't really apply.

Those are some really sick extracurriculars. I've always wanted to give skydiving a try. Hopefully next summer.

I win here, I win there...
