Creating the wrong impression
"I often socialise with my friends at a local club"
That can be read as “I get blind drunk with my mates every week”. Why would that support your application?
While it’s important to show that you’ve got more social skills than a goldfish (after all, the first few weeks of university are usually all about that), be careful not to accidentally hint you’re a binge drinker.
Make your socialising a good thing. Maybe something like “I am always a keen participant in group activities and I feel relaxed and friendly in social situations”.
