Now that you have gotten over sleeping late and mourning the end of the semester, you still have a little bit of time before you start that summer internship. It's not quite long enough to continue on with your lazy ways, and not long enough to get a job or take a class to put you ahead for next semester.
Here are five ideas to fill the awkward amount of time left in between the end of school and the start of your summer internship.
Enjoy some beach days.
Take a day trip to the beach with your friends! Enjoy the weather and take in the fact that you have no obligations to anyone, at least not for the rest of the month.
Travel
If you have the funds, go traveling for a week or so. A popular use of this time is to spend it overseas. See the ruins of Greece or go eat gelato in Rome. Anywhere you go is bound to be beautiful, so why not have some stories to tell and pictures to show on your first day of work?
Make your own challenges.
Create some sort of challenge for yourself. If you have two weeks until you start work, make it your mission to hit every one of the top 10 pizza places in NYC before then. You can challenge yourself to do one thing every day that you have never done before.
Do a weekend at the lake.
Go online and look for a cabin on a lake to rent with your friends. This can easily end up being the best part of your summer if you do it right. Gather up whoever wants to go, split the cost and bring lots of fun activity paraphernalia.
Redecorate
Use this time to take on a project. Whether it's around the house or within yourself, make this chunk of days the time you have to get this change, or "redecoration," done.
Have fun, and hang in there, the time will pass more quickly than you think!
