congrats seniors! it\u2019s summer<\/a> and you\u2019re done with high school! you will now have a lot of extra free time. do fun things, but try to also be productive. by the time the new school year begins, you\u2019ll be organized and prepared.
\n <\/p>\n

know how to feed yourself<\/h2>\n

figure out some quick and easy snacks that you can prepare in your dorm. that way, you won\u2019t have to go to the dining hall every time you feel a little hungry. you\u2019ll save meal swipes and energy.<\/p>\n

but make sure that these snacks are healthy, as well! you\u2019ll likely be eating a lot more pizza and fries than you normally would, so try to get in some nutrition where you can.\u00a0fully utilize your mini fridge by stocking it with things like yogurt and fresh fruit.<\/p>\n

check out this site<\/a> for some ideas.
\n <\/p>\n

keep your brain fresh<\/h2>\n

start off the academic year on the right foot by keeping your brain in school mode over the summer. create a summer book list<\/a> and follow through with it. read the newspaper. keep a journal in order to maintain your writing skills. although you may not want to do any kind of academic work right now, you\u2019ll thank yourself later.
\n <\/p>\n

save money<\/h2>\n

try to spend as little money as possible this summer. put the majority of it away into an account where you won\u2019t have easy access to it. again, you\u2019ll thank yourself when school rolls around and you have tons of unexpected expenses. get used to being self sufficient and stop asking your parents for money.<\/p>\n

if you can, get a summer job. it\u2019s good to get work experience to put on your resume, but it\u2019s especially good to have some extra spending money before you head off to school.
\n <\/p>\n

exercise<\/h2>\n

no matter how active you normally are, the summer before college is a great time to get in better shape. annihilate any chance of the freshman 15. get in the habit of frequently working out so that you can easily continue at your college\u2019s gym.<\/p>\n
