Should I take softball next year in my junior year of high school?
I am currently a sophomore in high school that is starting to pick next year’s classes. I am not planning on playing high school in college, so I’d like to know if it’s worth it to play softball all 4 years of high school. Is it better to play 4 years of high school, or find some extracurriculars to do (I don’t know what I want to be or major in so if there are any suggestions as to what I can do for better ECs or to figure out a good career path/major) I do very well in school and next year I have a pretty full and difficult class schedule. I have been wanting to quit softball for a while (I’ve been playing for 5 years), but I’m scared I will miss it or regret it. However, I feel like i would be much less stressed without softball, and maybe even happier. Do you think I should continue playing all 4 years? Will it look better on college applications to continue playing or does it not make a big difference whether I quit or stay? If I were to quit, I’d just add another class to my schedule.
How much do colleges actually care about seeing 4 years of language classes?
I’m conflicted with planning the rest of my high school schedule. I am looking into college for either an area of history or film which I know are two very different options. I’ve also been looking into combining these two with a job as a documentarian. I have currently been contemplating either continuing the 3rd and 4th years of my language or opting to be in other arts and portfolio classes that could help me when applying to art/film school. I’ve definitely been looking into uofmich as I live in Michigan but I’m really not even sure if it would be worth going there if I just want a film degree I could get somewhere else. I’m currently planing on taking an almost fully DP course schedule, the only things that would be non-DP would be my choir class and my Language/Portfolio arts class. Would it be smarter to keep my options open in college admissions and just take my 4 year language, or should I just go into the arts classes I actually want to take? How much do colleges really care about seeing a 4 year language?
