Totally as an aside, but for what it’s worth, 20 years ago when I did my degree I gave myself a rule that I would do 1 extracurricular activity every year that I could talk to for 5 minutes in a job interview.

I theorised that over the course of 4 years (5 as it turned out) would give me 20 minutes of talking time.

It worked. Even with average scores (and a handful of fails) I got a well paying job at a top company. Even back in the late 90’s many hiring managers valued experience and personality equally to academic transcripts.

The extracurricular activities were: * organised LAN gaming days for 100 people to teach myself networking, event management, marketing etc. Quake was the game by the way :) * half a day a week work experience for a year at a relevant employer * involvement in a paid capacity at the student association, taking on leadership roles * something else I cannot remember now!

Best wishes for your studies!
