I have an instagram account with 2k+ followers and I express my handlettering skills. Would this be an extracurricular?
Answered

Hi,

I've been running this account for a year now, and I really like handlettering and I wanted to share them with others and perhaps inspire them as well. I was wondering if this could be counted as an extracurricluar for college applications?

All kinds of help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi @Teja.sviii!

Definitely! You're using Instagram as a platform to showcase your unique handlettering skills, one of your hobbies/extracurriculars. Similar to what @HelloHome said, I would put down handlettering as the activity and then mention the Instagram in the description. I would also include the number of followers you have (+ any other stats that can help admissions officers understand the magnitude of your project).

Hope this helped!

Definitely, it sounds unique and really fun, which is what colleges are looking for! BTW, what’s the accounts name? XD.
