Trying to give back to my community as much as I can. Although I will still try to volunteer during my FT stint it would be nice to set up an org within my college town that can last past my graduation. Unsure what I'll do but hopefully something impactful. 

 

If money is not an issue then travel as much as you can.  take road trips with your friends, go to europe, south America, asia etc.   if you only have the means for one trip definitely go to Europe.  

Also,  don't cut back on partying...you have the rest of your life to do that.  drink, do drugs and fuck your way into oblivion!
