Sports
High school is a really cool time in your life because there are so many activities and new things to try out. While school sports were probably available during middle school, high school is different because everything is harder, more intense, and more fun! So the big question is, should I play a sport in high school? The answer is – if that’s what you want. I know that there are so many decisions you already have to deal with but this, like most everything else, is up to you. There is really only one reason that you should play a sport, ever. Because you enjoy it. Sure, playing a sport does look exceptionally good on resumes and college applications (How many people can say that they got 2400 on the SAT AND played a Varsity sport?) but it is definitely not going to be worth your time or effort (or anyone elses’ for that matter). Remember, if you like something you should go after it! Even if you don’t plan on continuing the sport in college, it is still a fun event that is a benefit to participate in. Also, if you don’t think you’re very good at X sport but you really enjoy it, it’s still better to give it a try and by playing/practicing you’ll get better.
