Return Offer Secured: Now what?

Was lucky enough to get a return offer but it now feels like i am counting down to returning to the firm. For current analyst or members of the firm, what did you wish you did during your gap between returning and the end of your internship?

The world is your oyster! Truly, do what you want to do, so long as it won't lose you the return offer. 

Since my Senior Year of college happened during COVID, I decided that I should add another major in Computer Science, allowing me to graduate with 3 majors and complete a Distinction Thesis. Now, I would probably recommend you do something different from that, but if so inclined, go for it.

Do something fun and that makes you happy. I don't know what makes you happy, but whatever that is, do it. Learn guitar, study coding, have fun with friends, do whatever you want. Have fun!
