Advice for extracurricular activities?
I am going to a four-year college in the fall, and I want to participate in extracurricular activities. I know it will look better on my college resume, and possibly open up the door for more scholarships However, I have panic disorder and am not very good around large groups of people. I am not a very athletic person, but I am good at art. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! #college #art #extracurriculars #scholarships

Hi Caitlin,
Extracurricular activities are very important and it is great you are exploring them. A great role you could fit into would be a Teacher's Assistant. It looks great on a college resume` and it would not involve an overly large group. I would also recommend joining honor society's and clubs. It may help push you out of your comfort zone a bit and allow you to network. If you wanted to participate in sports, you certainly do not have to be athletic to do so. Intramural sports can be very very fun and a great way to make friends. So, give it a try!
Thanks,
Mike
