I have 3-4 months of unemployment, What should I do?

I have 3-4 months of unemployment ahead of me due to an unfortunate gap in visa status. I do not want to come out of these 3-4 months with nothing to show for. What should I do to best prepare myself for a career in consulting? I am a recent BCom graduate with majors in international business, business management and economics. I recently bought the book case in point and have been going through it each day as well as networking and meeting for coffee etc.

Open to any recommendations of what else I should do/read/watch/study!

Thanks in advance
