I'm about to graduate and have around 2 months before I start working full time. What are some things you wished you did before you started working? What would you do with that amount of time?

Travel! Have fun!

relax. Read something. Watch a bunch of shows. Travel a bit! 2 months will fly by!

Travel, be freeeee. Don't study, that's lame.

I traveled for 2 months. At the time I was resistant to it, I didn’t seem myself as a traveling person, but everyone pressured me to and told me this may be the only time in your life for this opportunity, so I went all out and have amazing memories from it. Since I wasn’t into being a “tourist” I mostly spent the time volunteering in India and the Philippines which are super cheep countries to live for several weeks as well if you have a tight budget.

Enjoy it. Whatever that means for you..

Spend time with your friends. When you graduate everyone goes their own way again just like when high school ended.

enjoy days where you do absolutely nothing - those type of days will be few and far between once you start working and have adult responsibilities on weekends

sleep in, I tried not to set an alarm every morning and it was great! You have the rest of your life to wake up before you’re ready

Take a big trip. You’ll rarely be able to take 2+ weeks straight once you start working unless you quit or take sabbaticals

Live at home while you can SAVE MONEY

Sleep as much as you can if you can’t afford to travel (which was my case)

Was in the same spot recently, travel around a bit. You don’t have to go anywhere crazy but you’ll wish you went somewhere when you start working.

I would have traveled more, for sure. My dream is still to become a digital nomad. One of these days...

Relax, for your sake

Absolutely travel. I did and am so happy that I did. If you’re trying to get any sort of certifications like a CPA it’s also great to study before work because it’s hard when you’re working full time

Volunteering, sleep, personal initiatives.

Started during quarantine, didn’t get to travel. It’s hard to take 2+ weeks off for a nice Europe trip. Take it, I’m sad I wasn’t able to :-(
Enjoy!

Lol I started work literally 2 weeks after I graduated… glad you’re not doing what I did!! Take some time to travel (if you can), spend quality time with friends and fam, sleep and laze around a bit, and honestly, maybe find a hobby or interest (or learn a new skill) that you can keep up with even after you start work! I, for one, picked up martial arts, which kept me sane. More generally, try to pick up good habits around taking care of yourself so that they become second nature on the days when you can’t seem to catch a break 😅

Relish the only time for the rest of your working life that you'll get 2 months of not working
