RE: High school jock, club leader, but never the class nerd? How were your high school years?
What's with all the extra curricular activities in the US? Seems like going to school isn't enough over there. I was in the B group. Not super popular, but not unpopular--could be friends with anyone. Did fine at school. It wasn't that exciting or terrible. Didn't do any of that extra curricular BS cos there was no point and I didn't have to.
The only extra things I can recall we had were school sports teams, maybe my college was just not up with the times lol.
Yeah, if you were into sport, that made sense. But watching US tv shows, I get the impression you have to do extra stuff cos it affects whether you get into uni or not. Seems harsh.
Additional credits towards scholarships etc, yeah it's a bit different to what I had exposure to here in Adelaide.
It is sooo true, they paint this picture that we have to take over the world and live in a constant state of stress in order to get to college. Once we are there we realize what big waste of time it all was.
