I'm mainly doing 3 things: 1) Doing a lot of finance-related reading. Both books and catching up on the news (which I got behind on during finals). 2) Forming contingency plans in case we're in a depression and return rates are near 0. Maybe applying to grad schools/various FT roles. 3) Getting a jump on fall semester classes. All remaining time will be spent getting intoxicated.

 

Sleep in while I can, read, run/workout, watch Netflix. I'll probably also do a lot of studying for the summer to make sure I give myself the best chance possible of getting a return.

I don't end school until the middle of June, so fact that things are now pushed back to July is a big win. Gives me two weeks to relax instead of taking final exams proctored by HR
