What to do in my free time

So I am currently a High School Senior set the graduate in a few weeks. My college (Kelley) has recently informed me that the first semester will end before Thanksgiving, and will start again in early to mid-February. Is there any possibility I could do a finance-related internship with that little college education under my belt (only 1 semester). I was thinking either some real boutique bank in the m&a or s&t division or maybe a PWM at an mm or bb but I heard they are not as interesting anyway as they are seen as a waste. Any recommendations on what to do and how to reach them are more than welcome. Now I would just stay at home during this break but my parents would prefer I don't be there so I'm looking for something to boost my resume during that time. Thanks.
