Delayed start date?

Looking to get some insight on my situation-

I accepted a full-time offer from BlackRock two months ago and was told that I could start in March (seeing as how I graduated a semester early). So I quit my internship and planned a month long vacation on account of this. However, now HR tells me that the March start date is full and I have to wait until August (the standard start date). My question is, what do I do for six months now? Is it wise to find another job in the field that only lasts six months, or to do something I love and really take advantage of this time? Thanks for the help!

 

Do something you love. Whether it be working at a job that you'll enjoy doing what you do, or traveling some more or just sleeping all day. You're about to be a slave, take advantage of not being one!
