Soooo what now?

The semester is practically over.... now what?

Though we all deserve a break after this gruesome semester, we shouldn't forget that spring is just around the corner from our winter break! Soooo after a few weeks of relaxing, it might be a good idea to consider plans for next semester.

Some things you might want to consider doing over break...

-Get a holiday or seasonal job! Though you might have less time to relax and veg out on the couch, at least you can make some extra cash, which is always nice!

-Volunteer! If you don't want to be tied down by employment during you break, grab some friends and lend a helping hand. Volunteer at local hospitals, schools, food banks or the many other places that need help during the busy holidays. They will really appreciate it and you'll feel good about it too!

-Look for internships! Start looking for your next internship while you have time, so when you get back to school, you'll have an idea of where you want to apply.

-Revamp your resume! After you've found your dream internship, make sure your resume is ready to go! Take the time to organize and edit your resume, making it perfect. Plus, with tons of family around, you'll have extra eyes and critics to look it over too.

But don't forget to...

Spend time with your family and friends! It is your break after all, so spend quality time with the people you love most!

And most of all...

Enjoy yourself, have fun and be safe!

Here is a site created by a few of my peers at Boston University: http://www.internshipratings.com/

The site is a good place to start when researching internships.
