Senior Year after Return Offer from EB

Received a return offer from an EB in NYC after graduation and super stoked about the opportunity. However, I'm finding myself having an awful lot of extra time during my senior year since I don't have to worry about internships/clubs/recruiting anymore.

I want to take a break from finance-related stuff (CFA/PE Recruiting), mostly because I believe this is the last year of my life where I can stay away from finance and that I'll have ample time to work on those in the future. Wondering if anyone had any recommendations in terms of what they did during senior year/how to best spend your time during senior year?

I'm obviously partying and hanging out/drinking with friends but wouldn't mind picking up an additional interesting hobby or project.
