What to do until Nov start date?

Graduated a semester early this past fall and start full time in Nov. Have been home for a month but getting extremely bored and not sure what to do. Any suggestions? Curious about suggestions that are more involved in terms of projects/work/studies, not things like travel bc I already have plans for that

 

Catch up with old friends, travel, study for GMAT or PE if that’s your goal in the future

 

Lol, do not study. This is such an amazing opp. Travel! Vacation! Bartend somewhere tropical. You'll wish you did this when you hit the desk

Had a similar type lag between graduation and start date. Personally I took the time to study for CFA Level 1. That said, do anything but study or work (if possible). You will likely never have this much free time in your life again. Travel, hang out with friends as much as possible (believe me you won’t regret it), go have new experiences you didn’t have in college maybe? I never found myself to be much of an outdoors person but now that I work ~70 hours a week I yearn for time outside, just a thought.
