smoke weed everyday
start an online business / blog and/or learn a new skill like cooking or ultimate fighting. Spend 6-8 hrs/day on it and within 6 months you should be pretty advanced.
Tell us where the bodies are located.
pack your shit and move to Buenos Aires.
cost of living is low, you can make some money by teaching english to college kids for 3-4 hours a day and have the other 20 hours to learn spanish/tango/... greatest steaks in the world, beautiful women, amazing night life.
/edit: bonus - dancing with the starts "Bailando por un Sueno" on Argentinian TV
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yCC2Nvr2mE NSFW in the US, but I imagine totally SFW in Argentina! ;)wow
I think I just decided where I want to study abroad.
the fact that that is on national tv blows my mind wow
The wine pour was so over the top.
But completely necessary.
go backpack/travel europe. you will regret not going it
Stay around campus. Get a job tending bar or something like that to cover expenses. Spend time with your college buddies. Read for leisure. Master each day of the Times crossword. Work out 2 hours a day. Pick up a hobby. Even take a couple of weeks to split and go travel. The bottom line is that this will most likely be the last time until retirement that you have over 6 months to do whatever you want and spend quality time with people or to take time for yourself. Enjoy that shit man.
Try to travel and work out. It's hard to stay in shape once you start, so going in on a good note is helpful.
..sometimes i miss argentina too....ha
yup, been living in Boston since July.
same situation but starting in BB IBD - take what you will but these are my plans.
thats interesting... im thinking about taking a 9 month trip to south america to get rid of my girlfriend
Move to a snowboarding town, get a job with the people that run the mountain, and ride on your free days

Have fun
I'd work out, read a few books i've never had the time to get through, and probably get a job at a nearby bar to make some extra cash + meet new people.
