Heh, this is just a fantasy. I'd love to spend that time relaxing, taking trips, working on creative projects and blowing through every game in my library I haven't played, yet (fucking Steam sales), but any 4-month vacation for me would be post-employment, which is just even more stress inducing.

Pretty much this. I reckon you should follow exactly that perspective in your life no matter what. Life is short, doing a bunch of things you find to be a waste of time or you just plain hate is stupid.

Strangely enough, I have such a period in my life right after i finished uni and i spend it backpacking/crashing at friend's place to go sightseeing over Europe. Played in a couple of chess tournaments too.

Didn't really have infinite money though, all else I would have eaten at all the best restaurants possible :p

I would probably learn everything i need for my next job and learn whatever else i happen to want to learn. It's what i always did in the times when i had no job.

Yes, i'm a boring person.

Travel!
Funnily enough, my end of year breaks from uni is ~4 months, and during those times I've mainly worked and bummed around, hanging out with friends haha. But if I had the money to do what I'd want, I'd definitely have a big weekend with my mates and then travel, possibly also with my mates.

Back in February i became voluntarily unemployed (hated my job) for 4 months (didnt even start looking for a job for that period of time) and had plenty of money saved up.

I played an assload of videogames and did nothing....it was AWESOME. I'm a big fan of doing nothing though.

Imagine you have 4 months spare time, enough money saved up to do whatever you want, a car, decent english knowledge and a strong desire to do things you always wanted to do or will never be able to do again. In these 4 months there is nothing to do, nothing to worry about except doing and following whatever you want.

After years of studying I finished my exams a few weeks ago and will start at my job in April 2012. Until then I can basically do whatever I want. It's the last and maybe only time of my life I can do whatever I want... Off course I have something planned, e.g. visiting friends, writing a little, doing crazy stuff, travelling. But I'm still wondering if there isn't something big missing, which I should do.

So: What would you do under these circumstances?

Obv you can expect a lot of people to answer "SC2 all the time!" or "travel as much as you can". I appreciate all of your ideas, but I'm looking forward especially to those which are specific and describe a little what you'd like to do.


So you're going to be part of the system and never do anything you WANT again? That sounds depressing, not how I would live my life..

You're missing the point. No "normal" job is going to let you take 4 months off in a row unless:

a) You are really ill.
b) You are pregnant.

So although people with "normal" jobs can still do things that they want, they generally can't do them all in a row.

Besides, the idea is to get a job you'll like and assuming that OP's job isn't one they want to do is a "depressing attitude to have".


How am I missing the point? That's exactly the point I was trying to adres.

I would travel to Korea and Japan. Also, probably drink an awful lot of alcohol.

Honestly, I would go to south east asia where life is cheap and spend my time travelling there. I've already done it for 1 full year. It's one of the best experience I had.

I did the route I linked in the blog below. It needs summer times though. Takes about 3 months and its tough but I still get a smile on my mug when I look back at it.

You are in a position where you can do something memorable that you will look back on in years to come. In my opinion it should be something travel orientated. It really broadens your horizons and its something you can't do as easily when the career / mortgage / kids come along.

If you spend 4 months playing sc2 it may be fun but it will soon be forgotten. Don't waste the time. You won't get it back.

Get in sick good shape. Go on another cycle. Enroll in an amateur fight with an 8 week camp for it.
Also play more SC2 and giggle at the idea of not being ruled by school life >_<

- I would learn to cook like a pro.
- I would get jacked.
- I would get caught up in my university work, get ahead for next year. Maybe read some books on the subjects.
- I would learn how to do that 3 hours of sleep a day thing where one has 6 thirty minute naps. I'd become a boss at falling asleep whenever and could have 21 hours a day to do stuff.


I'd do all that stuff nonstop during my four months. The frequent naps would refresh my mind often, allowing me to work on things that require heavy focus.

Overall, these four things that I currently never have time to do would vastly increase my enjoyment of line and help me a ton in university. I'd love to do all of them this summer, but I might only be able to do one or two depending on what job I get.

The sleep thing crashes you hard when you stop doing it, and it takes like a month or two to get used to it. Not the best thing to take on for 4 months tbh.
