For me, this past semester was a whirlwind of exams, events, long nights, Sheetz runs (or Eat n Park runs for milkshakes), tutoring sessions, volunteering, and so, so much fun. But every school year has its end, and I'm happy to say I managed straight As this semester - the long nights really are worth it. But what does a college student do once the finals are finished? There are so many options, but ultimately the choice is yours.
Here are my suggestions:
1. Get a part-time or summer job. It'll look great on your resume, as well as putting some cash in your pocket. I was a camp counselor last year and had the time of my life. I met international friends, tried new things like zip-lining and white water rafting, and made the best memories.

2. Even better would be a summer internship. Paid or unpaid, it gets you valuable experience within your field. Plus it lets you know the ins and outs of a career field. You'll find out if you could see a future with that job.
3. Take summer classes. You don't have to do this, but it can help keep you on track for graduating on time if you're double majoring or something like that.
4. Travel. If you're in high school, I'd recommend having a summer job, saving every penny, and traveling the next summer. As you gain a career and move deeper into adulthood, in can be difficult to find the time or money to travel. Take advantage of it while you can!
5. Relax! After you graduate college, vacation time will probably be harder to come by, so enjoy your time off. But don't get lazy. Keep busy with friends, hobbies, and more.
Whatever you do, I wish you the best of luck. Have a great summer,
Kim
