Spike for Psychology

I’m a rising sophomore trying to figure out my extracurriculars. I’m aiming to major in psychology. How would I develop a spike while also experimenting with my own personal interests outside of it? As of now, I’ve only been in one club: Key Club and am the director for my class this upcoming school year.

This CollegeVine blog post has some psychology activity ideas. To develop your spike, become deeply involved in at least two psychology extracurriculars that are similar to those mentioned in the blog post.

You should also continue your involvement in Key Club to show that you are well-rounded, which is important to pair with your spike. In fact, it would be a good idea to take on a few more activities to build up your well-rounded side. These activities can range from intramural sports to being involved in an oil painting club. Hope this helps!
