For many college students, graduation is just around the corner. This can be an awesome time to look back on all your hard work and achievements, but looming pressure to have a plan for the real world can be daunting. Here are some ideas for how to make the most of your post-grad experience and be semi-productive (only when necessary).
1. Sleep for a thousand years
You’ve managed to make it through years of late-night study binges. You function in a state of constant exhaustion from balancing work, school, and a social life. All of this achieving calls for a serious nap.
2. Read all the books (that you actually want to read).
3. Do something healthy
Maybe eat some vegetables. Try incorporating exercise in your schedule a few times a week. Your body is probably going to rebel after being a human garbage disposal of dry waffles and chicken nuggets.
4. Volunteer
5. Make a LinkedIn profile
LinkedIn is a great tool to make professional connections and find new opportunities. Once you have your resume set up, you can apply for jobs with just the click of a button! The LinkedIn Student App is great for new grads with extra guidance for entering the workforce.
6. Take the job
Get some experience! We all have to start somewhere. Do your research. Send in a few applications a day. Practice your interview skills. You might not land your dream job, but you’ll land an okay job to help you get from here to there.
7. Treat yo’self
Groupon has tons deals to pamper any variety of dirt-poor graduates.
