For a while now I’ve been thinking of life after year 2 of university. For the next five weeks I will be incredibly busy finishing a mountain of work and maintaining my personal projects but what happens afterwards. Once I’m back from Brighton after The Great Escape there isn’t a lot for me to do other than Musical Chairs, Sonic Dice and Rock Blogster. It’s a massive step down in work load. So what could I do over the summer to keep my brain cells going? Here are the ideas I thought of late last night:
- Work placements – This is a compulsory part of my third year assessment but I could get it out of the way in the summer. I’d have to be pretty selective really in where I apply considering my choice of journalistic medium for the final year (online) but we’ll see what happens.
- Dissertation – Once the proposal is handed in and approved, in theory I could potentially get a whole load of it out of the way during the summer break, leaving me with a lot of free time after the summer.
- Freelance articles – Try and do some more freelance work.
Those are just a few ideas but as long as I can do something that doesn’t make me feel bored throughout what could be my final ‘free’ summer as a student, I’ll be happy.
