Yo, juniors! What are y'all doing this summer before the crazy senior year starts? Any cool plans or ideas? I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do, so I'd love some inspiration. Are you guys doing internships, traveling, or just chilling at home? Let me know!
Hey! Yeah, summer before senior year can be super important, but also a lot of fun. Here are some ideas to make the most of it:
Internships or summer jobs: Look for opportunities related to your interests or future major. It's a great way to gain experience and build your resume.
Volunteer work: Find a cause you're passionate about and give back to your community. It's rewarding and looks good on college apps.
Summer programs or camps: Check out local colleges or organizations that offer summer programs in areas like STEM, arts, writing, or leadership.
Start a personal project: Use your free time to explore your interests, like coding an app, writing a novel, or creating art.
College visits: Take a road trip to visit some potential colleges and get a feel for different campuses.
Prep for standardized tests: Use the summer to study for the SAT/ACT if you haven't taken them yet.
Hope this helps! Have an awesome summer!
