Is this considered "wasting summer"?

<p>Every year, I go on a week-long performance tour with my Christian musical theatre youth group. We've gone to Seattle, Disneyland, and now Spokane, WA.</p>

<p>I'm always hearing that it's important to make a good use of the summer months. Due to this tour and an annual week-long family road trip, I can't really get an actual summer job since I'm gone so much. </p>

<p>I'm going on the tour either way, but would you consider this "wasting my summer"?</p>

<p>I read colleges just want to know you did something over the summer, and I’m sure you enjoy doing this so it’s fine.</p>

<p>Yes, you could be doing so much more with three months.</p>

<p>^You’re in middle school, go away.</p>

<p>So? In the course of a summer I take SAT classes, math classes, math competitions, travel across the country playing baseball, work on number theory for publication, etc. I’m busy.</p>

<p>Well I took college classes and went to England and France over the summer so UH.</p>

<p>Congratulations? I’m going to be taking AP Calc as an 8th grader :slight_smile: And WOW you spent money to go to other countries? so impressive lol :smiley: I qualified for the SET program with 760 SAT MATH in seventh grade :)</p>

<p>Well I’m not trying to be cool on a college website and I don’t have to compete with you in college admissions so UH.</p>

<p>It isn’t wasting if you enjoyed what you did.</p>

<p>Hey, all I said was there’s more productive things for him to be doing with his summer xD you were the one who had a BF xD</p>

<p>Urban Dictionary says that you said a mean acronym to me :(</p>

<p>It would be definition # 3 :D</p>

<p>To quote the best movie of all time, “You are probably going to be a very successful computer person. But you’re going to go through life thinking that girls don’t like you because you’re a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won’t be true. It’ll be because you’re an 尻の穴.”</p>

<p>Well first, im not asian :smiley: so i’m good there xD two: im athletic, as in ill play varsity baseball freshman year, im a surfer and ill play jv football. So yeah i think i’m covered on girls. :smiley: ARE YOU? xD</p>

<p>I deff did not say asian anywhere. CC doesn’t like mean words so I had to type in Japanese because I am heroically amazing.</p>

<p>Lol don’t feel bad that you’re getting into your local college xD</p>

<p>I’m sure that’s a fine way to spend your summer. Colleges want to see that you’re passionate about something. You don’t necessarily have to change the world.</p>

<p>Man, that sucks. This summer I won the Noble Prize, created a cure for cancer, and fed all the world’s hungry. That’s what colleges want to see for summer.</p>

<p>(By the way, that’s exactly what some of you repliers sound like.)</p>

<p>OP, that’s one week out of your two or three month-long summer. If you don’t do anything else, you’re obviously wasting your summer. I’m sure you do other things throughout the summer though - and colleges just want to see you do something other than rotting in a couch watching TV.</p>

<p>@PurePhysics, I want to share one word with you, but it’s in Greek so you might enjoy it: Hubris</p>

<p>@CSIHSIS, if you’re going to throw around Japanese, you might want to actually learn the language. Google Translate is wrong. You might as well have said “the hole in your donkey” to get around the censor.</p>

<p>PurePhysics if you’re going to do math research don’t bother with number theory, it’s too masturbatory even for pure math.</p>
