Maybe you've always wanted to take a dance class or learn how to cook. Utilize this time to sign up for a class or two. You never know, it could lead to a newly discovered passion or career path.
2) Volunteer
What are you passionate about? Do you enjoy helping others? Seek volunteer opportunities throughout your community and give your time and service.
3) Apply for an Internship or Summer Program
