I've been playing the violin since I was 4, but I quit when I was 13 because I didn't like it. I have the chance to do Orchestra in high school, though. Should I start playing the violin again just so I can have that as an EC, even if I don't enjoy it? I joined the school band randomly this summer, but quit the next day because I didn't like it. The music ECs at my school are very time-consuming. Summer band is from 9 am to 6 pm every day >_< Even though my best skill is probably music, I got sick of it after doing it for so long.
I really want to try to join Science Olympiad, but I didn't do Science Olympiad in middle school. I was also thinking about DECA. Are these ECs too common at most schools? I want to stand out from everyone else while still doing things I enjoy. I don't want to spend all of high school doing things just to impress others/colleges.
