As comprehensive qualities are increasingly taken seriously, sports and social activities become indispensable to equip undergraduates with adept soft skills and preparations for integration into society. I am firmly convinced they should receive equal finical support with academic studies.

Even though Grade Point Average becomes primary criteria for job hunting, sports and social activities can play vital roles in internship applications. In America, great social contributions and leadership are even emphasized in college entrance examinations. Students with these qualities tend to impress interviewers. In addition, perfect performance in marathon competitions can enrich resumes when seeking jobs in Japan. Thus, sports and social activities are worth equal appropriations due to their essentiality in interviews.

Aside from being the possible stepping stone to well-paid jobs, regular sports and social activities boost academic studies to a great extent. Because sports activities serve as an effective method to manage time, combat overwhelming academic stress and induce better sleep, students strive to schedule personal study time, concentrate on lectures, memorize knowledge actively and achieve higher productivity. Besides, college students rich in social experiences, for example, possessing the United Nation Volunteers certification, are generally recognized for it verifies student’s comprehensive capabilities, from which can deduce academic excellence. Therefore, sports and social activities deserve equal financial support considering academic promotion.

Furthermore, sports and social activities guarantee physical and mental health and help expand the circle of friends. Hormones are released accelerated and a sense of achievement and belonging are harvested in sports or social activities participation. Stimulus will spirit students up and ensure state in both physical conditions and social life. For this reason sufficient funds for sports and social enable to maintain students average health.

Consequently, the merits for job interviewing, strong support for academic study and great adjustments to health are all compelling justifications for the equal financial support for sports and social activities.
