Internships are great and very important but, there is way too much pressure on students to find them and they are becoming more and more difficult to get. So instead of wasting the summer by stressing over not having an internship, you can spend it finally relaxing and being productive. We only have a few summers to spend without responsibilities from a real-world job so its essential to enjoy them!
- Learn a new skill
-
Without an internship, it is probably a good idea to take the time off to learn a new skill or really hone in on one you have. Padding the resume is a great way to spend the summer. This summer I am taking some intro to coding classes to add as a skill on my resume to be more diversified for the future.
- Get in the best shape of your life

Summer is the absolute best time to find a solid workout routine that works for you. You have so much time and the weather is always amazing so you will have no excuses not to be outside. You will also have so much time to find new healthy recipes and feel great!
- Relax
-
School is so hard and take so much out of you, summer will finally allow you to sit on the couch and binge watch all the shows you fell behind on. You can breathe again for a few months without the weight of all the studying and homework assignments hanging over your head.
- Make that coin
-
Part-time jobs aren’t always the most fun but, the money you save up from it will mean more money to spend at the bars when you come back from school. Also, you make bank with a full three months of working and saving.
But most importantly, take this time over the summer to just find a good routine, make memories, and really relax while you can.
