Since many kids of all ages are now getting their formal education remotely, we were wondering how they were going to do their extracurricular activities. It brought to mind many memories of the extracurricular activities that we participated in during college. Some activities centered around extending our knowledge of our chosen career choices, others were more athletic in nature. Club sports and intramurals were a common pursuit between both Eden and Tom. However, there were plenty of cases where we did not follow the same path. Also discussed are the ways to get involved with extracurricular activities. We discuss approaches for getting the courage to walk into a group of strangers and quickly make friends and enjoy your common interests. Some worked but most didn’t  😊.  Turns out, that problem can be a high hurdle to clear in enjoying an after-school club or activity. In the end, we learned quite a lot about each other’s non academic college lives while being exposed to quite a few of the options available for students to do while not in school. This episode was a lot of fun to make and we hope that you enjoy it!

As with all of our episodes, this is a standalone episode, which means that you don’t have to listen to any other episode to enjoy this one. We hope you find this short conversation interesting. If you would like to share your comments and questions please …
