Graduate in 3 years?

I’m a rising junior at an Ivy double majoring in Math + Bio. Have a good internship lined up for Summer 2025 and am on track to graduate in 3.5 if I reduce my workload (12-13 credits out of 15 recommended). Or I can push myself a bit and graduate in three. School doesn’t have an insane party scene or anything and I’m taking 20-30k in student loans every semester. If I did graduate early, what are some things that I could do? Will stay “living” out of my housing on campus, btw.

1. Blow my summer internship money on traveling and bars (most likely option).

2. Work in London/Hong Kong for 2 months and then blow that money on traveling and bars. (Is it possible to get an off-cycle internship abroad as a US citizen?)

3. Get a Masters at my school or another Ivy. (Don’t know in what, but my dad wants me to do this).

4. Do AmeriCorps/Peace Corps type volunteer thing for a few months (abroad).

5. Do drugs

If anyone says “Start FT early” or “Prep for on-cycle,” I’m deleting this app.

For context: Have plans to go to law school/business school later too
