Committments other than academic? (1 Viewer)

[Kmahal1990]

I was wondering what everyone else is carrying in terms of committments other than doing well at school. I play grade sports for my school, Rugby Union for Winter and Basketball for Summer. This takes up about 6 hours of training on weekdays and just about the whole of saturday (helping out the canteen and what not). I do debating which is about a one hour session a week, with friday nights allocated for competition. Amidst this i spend about 12 hours a week playing computer games. I regard this as a committment because i am apart of an online gaming community, and which on weekends requires my presence.

I don't have much of a non-academic life. I play grade sport basketball for my school every term and tennis whenever i have time just to keep fit. Other than that, i just read. Can't believe how time suddenly became so scarce these days.. *shrugs*

lol pretty much the same here, also i do peer support for school

Do as much as you can. Not because it will be a "learning experience" (hell, it might...) but because it is good to have on your resume. You'll go through interviews sometime in the next couple of years where such things will be great to talk about; peer support, playing in a team, etc.

Umm time management?

I quit work last week, im going to quit mock trial this term and im going to quit school magazine and cadets this year because its going to affect my grades soon.

My grades died towards the end of last year. I had the School Certificate along with English debating, History debating, music lessons, music exams, a (ex)boyfriend and a part time job. So my advice is, unless you have superb time management skills, don't have any of these other commitments of you're really serious about doing well in assessments, and ultimately the HSC.

Mock Trial, chess (no idea how I got into that ), organisation committees for major school events, debating timekeeper (too crap for the real thing ), that's pretty much it.
