The conclusion of AP and regents exams indicates that summer break is right around the corner. Some may have plans while others may not, and here are five ideas of what you can do this summer if you don’t know what to do.
- Get a Job
Worried about paying for college? Need money to empty that Amazon cart? Get a job this summer and get those $$$. Not only would you get money but also on the job experience and something to put on your resume. SYEP would also be a good idea, check google classroom (class of 20XX) for more information and opportunities.
- Volunteer
Volunteering can help you explore your interests, adds on to your experience, and lets you meet new people. Volunteer hours will also be essential in the college application process and looks great on your resume when competing for a job. In fact, certain occupations require volunteer hours.
- Explore Colleges
Underclassmen can start exploring areas of interest (what you want to do and where you want to be in the future) and colleges this summer. College can seem really far away but can come in the blink of an eye, it’s never too early to start preparing. Seniors can also start touring campuses so you don’t get lost in September.
- Try Something New
If you have always wanted to try something new like learning a new instrument or playing a new sport but never had time for it, the two month summer break would be a perfect time to do so. Hobbies can also be asked in interviews!
- Relax
It may have been a long and exhausting year for many of us and a break is exactly what we need. Start a new series, travel, or do anything you enjoy, it’s always okay to take a break. ^_^
