<p>I don't have a job because I'd have to take off too much time between visiting WashU and vacations, etc... so basically I'm spending most of my time at home. </p>
<p>I make plans with my friends when they are available and such, but when I'm at home with nothing to do other than go on College Confidential and watch entire TV series on Youtube, I feel extremely unproductive and bored.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any suggestions for what a pre-frosh can do at home?</p>
<p>Have you already registered for your fall classes? If so, you could start reading through your textbooks and get familiar with the material. </p>
<p>If not, you could find a list of classics (either books or movies) and see how far you get through the list.</p>
<p>Go get wasted, read some books, watch some good movies, just enjoy yourself. Pretty much your last summer to have no responsibilities and not feel bad about it.</p>
<p>PRiNCESSMAHiNA, I don’t register for another week :(.</p>
<p>Perhaps some volunteer work ,or go to a gym . Clean out your closets !</p>
<p>Another thing, I also don’t have a driver’s license haha.</p>
<p>Learn how to drive.</p>
<p>I’m already doing that haha but it’s only a couple of hours a week.</p>
<p>save some money to spend while your gone. enjoy yourself.</p>
<p>Brush up on your MLA formatting (because you might have overly neurotic professors), review any complicated mathematics formulas if you plan on jumping into Pre-Calc. or other challenging math classes, find whatever clubs/organizations you wish to join, contact your future roommate and buy any winter clothing you need now (it’s all on sale).</p>
<ol>
<li>Chill. Really, this is your last summer of freedom.</li>
<li>Go party.</li>
<li>Work out, pick up new hobbies, learn new sports, catch up on old hobbies, etc.</li>
<li>Hang out with your high school friends. You won’t see them much afterwards.</li>
<li>Watch movies and TV series that you haven’t seen.</li>
<li>Don’t think about school. Even the whole reading ahead thing is overrated. I’ve tried it myself and it didn’t help. Its hard to remember stuff for long when you try to learn it yourself. And you don’t know which chapters in the textbook your professors gonna cover, let alone whether or not material for the textbook is even gonna be used at all for lectures/tests (many professors base their tests/assignments based on material covered in lecture, with the textbook only being a reference for the student if needed).</li>
</ol>
<p>^^^this. summer I graduated high school was probably the best one I had. I’m pretty sure the lack of reading ahead had something to do with that.</p>
<p>so far, all ive done is, party (get drunk, and high) from 10pm to 6am. sleep from 6am to 3pm. tv from 3pm to 5 pm. and then ultimate frisbee from 5pm to 8 pm. </p>
<p>great schedule, i know</p>
<p>^that sounds a lot more like my summer before freshman year than the one I suggested. I don’t regret it, but I do wish I had done a bit more scholarly stuff.</p>
<p>Are you 18? You don’t have to take drivers ed then and you can just pass the easy test.</p>
<p>I’m 17 so I do have to take Driver’s Ed. I’m going to try to get my junior license at the end of the summer so it’s a senior license a couple of days after I get back for break (REALLY late birthday >.<).</p>
<p>Man that sucks.</p>
<p>You won’t drive at school anyway (most likely)</p>
