What Time Is It?: How to Spend Your Summer Wisely

by Arabella Chamberlain

Summer break is so close you can taste it. It's starting to warm up and the freedom of Summer is right around the corner. Maybe you plan to kick back by the pool and enjoy some sun. Or maybe you'll spend your summer inside, curled up with a novel or two. But what are some ways to make your summer productive?
  • Get that practicum requirement out of the way early. If you're a freshmen or sophomore, summer is a great time to complete your practicum so you won't have to worry about it as graduation draws closer and closer. Upperclassmen, definitely get your practicum done over the break so you can spend your Junior and Senior years working on other things, maybe even studying abroad. Take advantage of your summer.
  • Do a May term. It's a little late now to do a May term this year, but keep this is in mind for next year. Get a Gen Ed out of the way and explore exciting, new places. Many professors have already started talking about their May terms for next year so maybe do a little research and plan your summer next year!

    Get a summer job back home. Need a little extra cash over the summer? Look into local summer work. Start reaching out now and looking for seasonal work at small businesses or go back to places you've already worked and see about temporary work. It can't hurt to ask and see what happens!
  • Catch up on some summer reading. Get a tan poolside. Get outdoors. Live your life. Have fun and enjoy your summer! Honestly, just do what you want to do this summer and that's the most productive you can be. See you next Fall!
