What should I do with my internship money?

I have about $15k saved from my internship and I'm not quite sure what to do with it. I was thinking about maxing out my Roth IRA for the year at $7k and investing the rest somewhere else. But I had some friends tell me that that the $$$ invested this year versus 2 years from now when I'm full time won't make a difference in the long run. They suggested I spend that money on something that would make me happy and to start the IRA/Investing in a couple years once I'm full time making 6 figures


Any tips on what to do with this? I can't really think of anything I really want or need but open to ideas
