    Yep :grin: My exams just finished and I don't have school until August... Then another 2 years of a hell load of work again :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: hmm... does anyone have any suggestions on how to be productive and spend your time wisely during this time? Or share your own plans for this summer! I'm gonna take the IB next year... so yeah XD

    I just made a list of things I wanna do:

    Go to concerts
    Plan Extended Essay (for next year)
    Draft Personal Essay/Statement (for applying to uni)
    Update my CV
    Do a few personal art projects/pieces
    Buy textbooks/notebooks, learning supplies/materials
    Read books (library or books I've bought)
    Prepare for some other exams (SATs)
    Do some (impossible) pinterest projects
    Make a Doctor Who TARDIS :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: (not to scale)
    Paint (PAINTINGS) of a few animals with oil/acrylic paints
    Find a job (something I'm struggling with, need suggestions)
    Online courses (university lectures on FutureLearn/Coursera/edX)
    Real life sketches

    Zilch. Have the entire week of Fourth of July off from my job. But have no local friends to hang out with and dunno if I could visit any of my long-distance friends. :frowning2:

    I'm not good at being productive but those things you wanna do, you should definitely do them! They sound amazing!

    Definitely go to as many concerts as you possibly can. ;D

    The university I'm going to has an optional Freshman College thing in July that I can earn credits through before the first semester even starts, so that's what I'm going to be doing. Besides that, I'm just hanging out with friends before we have to part ways.

    Whenever I attempt to plan out my summer I always end up not doing half the things and making arrangements on the day rather than planning in advance. But it's good that you've got a lot of stuff you intend to do; perhaps marking certain things on your calender would be a useful way of reminding yourself what you want to do.

    My summer plans (despite not having a summer before of work) I'm off on holiday to Florida (Cudjoe Key) and Texas (Austin) with my family next week :slight_smile:

    Although they are flying from England and I'm flying from Qatar, but we'll meet each other in the airport!
