How did you spend your Senior Year College Winter Break?
Currently a senior that is graduating this upcoming spring This past semester has had its ups and downs. I slacked off at the beginning but grinded towards the end to maintain my GPA which I am really happy about. I'm really grateful for the position I am in knowing that this might be the last time I have real freedom before working FT.
I've read many times on the site that you should cherish the free time you have in college, however, with all of my friends focused on grad school apps and their own careers, we don't have as much time to hang out after the holidays because everyone has their own schedules.
Would it be a waste of time during break to brush up on skills like financial modeling, learning code, etc? I know people are going to call me a try-hard, but I think spending time for maybe even a couple of hours a day won't hurt and can only help me in the long run.
Posting in the IB forum because it gets the most traffic (not going into ib). Thanks for any advice!
Would also love to hear how you spent your senior year winter break before FT.
I really think taking time off till the new year is key. Usually break ends around mid Jan for most schools so if you feel compelled do some work on the back end of break. Otherwise rest and recover. I’ve been struggling to do that since it’s a weird time to transition like you, but honestly I know I need to wind down for a couple weeks before I try to do any work.
I usually chill for a week then do set a side 20-30 min a day to brush up on things, study for gmat etc
Nothing
Traveling as much as I can while I still can. Prolly my last chance to see the world w no distractions at all for at least a few years
I went to a target in the UK and we would spend winter break studying for January exams lmao
Figure this one out for yourself. The rest of society seems to be able to. Not sure why finance picks the least capable of the bunch outside of working hours.
