I can really relate to your concerns as I had a similar issue when I was first completing applications, as I didn’t have many hobbies / extracurriculars outside of my degree. To strengthen my extracurricular section, I reflected on activities that I genuinely enjoyed, even if they weren’t consistent hobbies. For instance, I discussed my interest in reading by highlighting recent books I had read and linking them back to the firm’s industry / sector focus. Whilst reading wasn’t a consistent pastime (and still isn’t!), my curiosity was genuine! Similarly, I mentioned activities such as go-karting, which I wasn’t able to do regularly but still enjoyed. That being said, I would be careful not to overstate involvement too much, as it may be brought up in an interview and you will need to have an answer that is consistent with your original application.Overall, showing curiosity and a willingness to engage with new experiences is valuable, even if your engagement with them isn’t always long-term and consistent <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
