Does anyone know of good activities or programs to participate in this summer? I had a bunch of stuff canceled this summer due to Corona and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on things I could do instead especially ones that will look good on college apps.
It depends on what your interests are and what year of high school you’re in. What you plan to do over this summer should be activities that reflect your interests. If you’re a rising senior, most colleges are saying to take this time to work on your college applications.
Some more general advice could be to take classes (I know of an organization offering them for free but only some are done right now, you’ve got things like edX and Coursera) or get a job (doesn’t have to be anything fancy!! fast food is great for teenagers).
Just get a job. Every experience doesn’t have to be fabulous and meaningful. Working shows dedication and you make money.
