<p>I see all the posts about kids trying to "find" something to do in the summer. Here's what I did last summer:</p>
<p>absolutely nothing but relaxed.... I got into Duke, Columbia, UPenn</p>
<p>I spent my whole summer sleeping 12 hours a day, lifting, running, doing reading, hanging out with friends, partying, and just living it up.</p>
<p>don't get all bent out of shape kids. I remember last year around this time, I read CC and I went "OMG OMG I have to do something significant in the summer...."</p>
<p>Then I came back to earth and just took the summer for myself. Don't sacrifice an awesome summer because you think it'll make you look better and impress a school. It's not worth it and unless you enjoy what you're doing (DONT LIE TO YOURSELF), you are losing out on a lot of good times. These summers won't last forever and they're pretty awesome.</p>
<p>good luck and keep your sanity</p>
