Joining Flag Football as a Senior

hello all, I'm a senior girl in HS, and I want to join my team's so badllyyyy but they literally had practices all summer, which I didn't go to since I had a busy schedule with other activities. They had their first game today, which they did well. Since I'm a senior this year I need to lock in on grades and college apps but i literally have so much fomo. BUT I know that if i join im gonna suck ass since i didn't practice the whole summer and also the other girls on the team all already do other sports like soccer and basketball and i'm hella unathetic...sigh. and i'm not "popular" and everyone that does it is "popular", I don't know what to do! any advice?

How cooked am I if I am top 20% of my class

TLDR: My UW has a downward trend and my W has a upward trend...and I got lots of A-'s and 1 B+ and 1 B junior year. How cooked am I?
I also am like barely top 20% at a feeder school.

Any alumini from ACLU National Advocacy Institute?

I got into the program recently but I'm trying to decide if its worth the 5K + time away from my internship and essay writing as a rising senior. Would love it if any alumini could tell me about their experience!

ACLU National Advocacy Institute

I just got accepted into the ACLU National Advocacy Institute, and it seems like a very fun, yet pay-to-play program. I'm a rising senior interested in Political Science, and I have a internship with the local department of public health as well as a fellowship with a local Mayoral campaign that I'm spending most of my time doing. I just don't know if the fun/social aspect is enough to outweigh the cost.

For those that have done it, how was the program, and did it help with college apps?

Thanks!

Who will win top 2 in the Primary?

I think the chances of Bass (or any other candidate) getting 50% or more of the vote is obviously very unlikely, and thus we are probably going into a runoff election. Personally, I think Bass is likely to be in the top two, but then do we think Nithya Raman or Spencer Pratt will clinch that second spot? Obviously there are other candidates running, but with the debate and general media, it seems to me that the race for mayor has narrowed to these three.

Summer Advice

I'm a rising senior focused on polisci/anthropology for a T20! My GPA is kinda low so I'm trying to compensate that with good ecs!!

This is what I have lined up this summer. I think I have too many things going on, and I'm scared some of the things I plan to do are not "prestigious enough". what should I cut out? If anything?

Working from 7am-1pm at my local park as a camp counselor, interning with county office of public health for 3 days a week, teaching free creative writing classes at a local public library, girls state, train for a new sport senior year...), work at a local political anthropology lab, maybeee study for the sat (should i retake a 1530...), run my nonprofit/community project giving out educational resources, campaign and canvass for a local mayoral race.
