Colleges love extracurricular activities.

It is the final say whether you'll get into the college or not.

So I went to a preparatory school my freshman year.

And the only reason I did was because I wanted to put my comics in the school newspaper.

and it became very obvious that we weren't gonna make a school newspaper.

So I stopped going, and I was basically a derp for the rest of the year.

Sophomore year rolls around, and I was going public.

That doesn't seem like a very physically demanding sport.

On the second day, we ran off school grounds before school started.

And everyone else made it back before the starting bell rang.

But me, being the slowest one on the team,

didn't make it back until first period had already started.

And then I had to explain to my teacher why I was late and sweaty.

and was basically a derp again for the rest of the year.

Improv was basically a group of all the cool theater kids.

And if you have any experience with theater kids,

then you know that they're just a real treat!

Everyone is loud. People already know each other.

And no one is quiet except for me sitting in a chair by myself.

Everyone took a turn playing an improv game.

And I guess the captain saw something in me because I made the team.

But I only went two times—heh I'm just kidding.

I stayed in there for the rest of my junior and senior year.

Oh, and the newspaper team at the public school asked if I could make comics for their newspaper.

So we were considered a competitive improv group that competed against other schools doing shows.

And we were playing this one game called "Categories."

Basically, you were given a category, like "Fruit."

We would stand in a line, and if the judge pointed to us, we would have to say something in that category.

And if you couldn't think of anything, or you said something that wasn't in the category,

So we played the game, and it comes down to me and one other player.

And, out of the millions of occupations to choose from,

And everyone started laughing and giggling,

The judge said I was inappropriate, and the other team won.

But if there's anything you should learn from this, it's that you should not be doing any sports.
