Should i quit? i don't know what to do, please help?

Question

I am currently a senior in high school. I moved to a new school the last month of my junior year.

I participated in my old school's color guard, or the flag team, and semi-enjoyed it. I have started doing the color guard at the new school because I figured that colleges like it when students continue an activity. I have found myself not liking the girls on the color guard team here, and I have lost all interest in the activity. It costs about $1000 to be on this team, and I don't want to make my parents pay for all that money for something that lasts only 3 months. Plus, I have practice everyday from 3-6, AND a guard class during the 2nd period of my day.

I just realized that senior year is very expensive, and instead of doing the color guard, I could be volunteering for the YMCA (which I need hours for) or working, so I can save up money for applications, senior pictures, and college. And I can also have time to participate in clubs.

But then again, if I do color guard this last year, won't colleges see that as a plus?

So what should I do? Please help me out, this is tearing me up.

Answer 1

If you are not interested in it anymore, quit.  Don't do it just because you think that it will look good on a college application if you don't like it.  Volunteering at the YMCA looks good too.  

Extra Curricular activities do look good but I think it's better to do something you enjoy.

Grades and SAT scores are more important for getting into college anyway.

Answer 2

I personally, would quit color guard. Whats the point in spending $1000 on something you don't enjoy, with people you don't like? And I think as long as your grades are good, and with you participating at YMCA and clubs and such, you should be fine getting into a college. Hope I helped!
