Post internship depression

My internship finished on Friday and I find myself excruciatingly bored.... Ive already recovered my sleep debt and every Netflix show I watch hits a dead end. (business of drugs, Designated Survivor, even gossip girl) I hang out with friends almost every night, but during the day I'm totally alone since their internships are still going. (I started a 12 week internship early).. My team genuinely became so really great company, and our chats were pop-ing- now that is going on without me since I lost server access. My internship was engaging, fun, and intense- now I have literally nothing. I work out, eat, and just do nothing productive or enjoyable. I genuinely feel awful. I performed very well during my internship, and could probably get it back if I wanted to, but I feel as if that is just awkward to ask for it for 2 weeks- particularly since Im going for a return offer.

How are people passing the time? And what would you do in my shoes.. I already have done all LBO/M&A modeling courses known to man and doing them would just be repetitive. Any new hobbies I should pick up.

Enjoy the time before you have to work full time this year. While everyone says to occupy your time and not waste it, these past couple of months will probably be the most unique in our lifetime. Just relax and enjoy life before things go back to normal.
