Bucket List of Things to Do after Recruiting

Hi fellow monkeys! I am fortunate enough to have finished recruiting for 2024 summer and have discovered a lot of free time at my hand. I'm really curious to hear what endeavors you all took on after the recruitment cycle – practically, is there anything you regret not doing before starting summer/FT? Any fun things you were glad you did before plunging into Corporate America/or working in other parts of the globe? 

Any practical advice, insights and fun stories would be appreciated. :)

I had my full-time job locked up in October before graduating the following May and honestly, I just had fun. I still cared about my grades and stuff but instead of overly stressing, I decided "good enough" was good enough...so instead of passing on an invite to day drink after class to be fresh for a morning class the next day, I would accept. Instead of printing out teacher slides the night before, I just used a notebook. Little things in the grand scheme but just used those last few months to just catch my breath and enjoy myself a little more.
