I'd deposit the money to a poker site and try to become the new Elky by multitabling 24/7. Or something similar that takes time and patience in order to benefit from (could be Pro Starcraft, learning a new language, physical training etc,etc).
Very casual, Diamond Terran.

That really sounds depressing op, gogo, join the movement, occupy everything :D ;
Maybe, just MAYBE you invested your time purchasing the wrong goals?


Aren't the occopy-something-group pepole that most of whom made stupid decisions in life, don't have a lot of talent, and expect the governmant to pay for their stupid mistakes?

Trust me, i'm not fond of today's Capitalism (And I saw Zeitgeist II), but most the occupy wallstreet movement (and the "I am the 99%") reeks of entitlement and disillusion.
All of the pepole who are "the 99%" don't realize that they are among the 1% in the world with a working computer.

I have a similar problem. Except instead of 4 months it's 1 year and no money :D. And i will NEVER get a job (not falling for that again, the money is totally not worth the effort)

Depends on what kind of person you are. If you enjoy traveling then go to where you would be most interested in going and just spend some time there! However, if you're a homebody (like me) then I see nothing wrong with just hanging out and doing things that interest you. If it were me I would be playing a lot of video games lol..Yeah it's a pretty stupid answer but honestly I find little more in life that makes me happy knowing I have a decent amount of free time to sit down and just play some games or do a hobby I really enjoy. Some of my most favorite memories were and still are being on skype with 3 of my friends and just playing games/talking/hanging out. The small things ^_^
Live it up.

4 months is not enough time to undertake anything epic, like buying a boat and sailing around the south pacific, but enough do something pretty awesome.

If I had 4 months, I would probably fly to Brazil, and then do a loop of South America, either Paraguay -> Argentina -> Chile -> Peru -> Ecuador -> Columbia, or the other way around, depending on the time of the year. If you are leaving now, going to Argentina 1st so you can be there in the Spring would be really nice.

Buying some dinky little car would definitely up the adventure rating on the trip. Driving in developing countries is always an interesting experience.

I can answer this easy. After I graduated college it took me 6 months to find a job. In that time, all I did was wake up and play WoW for 12 hours a day then go back to sleep.

If I could do it again, I would hit the gym 6 days a week and get ripped. I'm trying to go to the gym now, after work, and it's a pain in the ass. The entire day is gone if I go to the gym + work, plus the gym is packed after 6 pm. If you go to the gym at like 10 am, it's nice and empty and you can do your full routine uninterrupted. After that, I would probably play WoW/SC2 for the rest of the day.

If i were given the choice since this is all just theory:

1) Would love to travel around following SC2 events and watching them live and if I get the chance in the time frame head to Korea. (actually a plan to head to S.Korea for the GSL or U.S for MLG or EU for DreamHack).

2) Meet a lot of the top players in SC2.

3) Obviously play a lot of Starcraft 2 and maybe get a few promotions.

4) Watch a lot of series and movies ^_^.

Generally that is the idea.

Oh man.

Month 1: Fly to Costa Rica or Peru. Purchase horse. Travel with horse through country. Sell horse. Hit up Galapagos.
Month 2: Fly to Iceland. Purchase horse. Travel with horse through country. If time hit up Norway. Sell horse.
Month 3: Fly to safe African country. Purchase ... camel? Travel through country. Sell camel.
Month 4: Back to the states ... Fly to Yellowstone. Purchase horse. Travel through Yellowstone/western states. KEEP HORSE THIS TIME!!!! Oh yeah.

Then I would be 100 Bronze league when I came back ... TT

However, if the World Cup was on, that would be one of my months. Brazil, here I come!

I am in a very similar situation to you, OP. I graduated college, and immediately started working -- no break. I decided that my job was not for me, and I took about two months off, so I could have time to relax. I found a job, and I start in about two weeks.

For the last two and a half months, I have spent my entire time drinking with my friends, playing videogames, catching up on sleep, cleaning, and working out. I really am against traveling, as I feel that wastes a lot of money, and I don't like doing that

"Travel all the time" is really the best answer, imo. You're never going to find the time to commit to another long-term adventure like that. If you have the possibility, do it now. Visit every continent. See as many cultures and as much history as you can. Meet people from around the globe.

Get the most you can out of your life, and out of life as humans right now can. See everything this species has built. As for specific? Up to you. I'd go to hongkong, shanghai, singapore, seoul, tokyo, New york, Los Angeles, Toronto, Montreal, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Carribean islands, Berlin, Barcelona, Madrid, Munich, London, Dublin, Edinburgh, Oslo, malmö, helsinki, Moscow, Paris, Rome, Milan, Sydney, you name it. Of course, even 4 months isn't enough to visit all of them properly, and it'd be a very, VERY expensive trip, but you could visit quite a few.

Alternatively: Save enough money to go into space. One of those tourist space-flights projects, should be done in 2012 iirc, and experience something almost no man will ever be able to.

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..


Wow are you like some 14 year old anarchist or something? Get a clue...

Don't sit around playing video games there are way better things to do with your time, have a good time, if that means travelling or just spending time with your parents you should do it!

I just spend apx. 4 months chilling. Just playing computer, seeing friends, relaxing. Though i was often asked if i shouldnt begin doing something like work or education, I was totally fine just relaxing. I would recommend everyone to have this kinda break.

I would do what i do every damn day, play guitar

there is no rest for a music major

I do however love to practice so in those 4 months that i had no auditions coming up no gigs no recitals to play for school i would sit down and learn something amazing. Almost 100% sure i would learn the prelude to BWV 1006a

I would probably just train physically for 4/5 hours a day, and spend the rest writing a book and playing Starcraft. And reading.
