What are some good extracurriculars for a 11/12th grader graduating this year

I'm a junior by credits but i'll be graduating early this year, I'm applying to colleges but my extracurriculars could be stronger. Are there any strong extracurriculars I could do to boost my chances that don't take a lot of time, outside of sports?

Start your own school club! Make it something easy to get off the ground within the next month or two, and also something that can be continued on after you graduate. Try to pick something that doesn’t look cookie-cutter or like a basic resume builder, choose something that you’re passionate about that most other college applicants don’t have on their resume. Colleges look for people who aren’t doing the same thing as everyone else. Good luck!
