Hi Monkeys,
I know some of you guys probably went the "models and bottles approach" with your SA gig, but my only bottles were Pepsi and now I have a decent amount saved from the summer.....what do I do with it - how should I invest it to help my future? (~$11k)

Seriously though, most people save/invest it to help with the move. Keep it for expenses throughout the semester, etc.
.
honestly throw 1-3k in crypto currency.
Yes, if you like to burn money sure
Sure, if you don't do your research, you'll lose your money -- but that's the case with most asset classes. Please don't discourage someone from getting in on the ground floor of something that will disrupt a tremendous amount of industries and processes.
OP: throw in a few thousand into Ethereum and some ICO tokens (but only if you have conviction in the ICO's premise/offering since they are at the end of the day ... simply a group of 5-10 people with a 20-30 page white paper).
Yikes
This aged incredibly well
Hopefully you earned enough to not have to work for your entire senior year in which case - enjoy
Use it to start a biz -- toss some in crypto
Wait, is this Pump and Dump? Effin 11k.
Haha now that you mention it, the amount is suspicious. Apparently washing dishes + "other stuff" is a SA gig then, eh?
^this guy gets it. Hopefully his trial and error approach to framing questions on this site eventually pays off.
awe man, I didn't even realize it could be him!

Nope sorry
Spend it going out, buying your friends drinks and a great spring break. Fly some girl you met to visit you for a weekend. Use this money as your last horrah.
Save $1,500 or something to put down for your security deposit when you move to the city, but otherwise plan to have spent the entire amount.
If you're 21 - plan a Vegas NYE party for 1,500 with some friends.
You've never been to Vegas, have you...
$1500 is one, two bottles TOPS.
why would you try to get a bottle on nye in Vegas, you're paying huge mark up and no server is gonna waste their time on 4 college dudes sucking on a bottle. Get hammered on the strip and find some specials at the clubs.
Spend half of it on a multi week vacation and save / invest the other half.
