I would spend like a couple weeks just too myself. Just relax, stay at home, chill with friends, stay in the city and things like that. Then after when i'm bored of that, perhaps take a fairly modest trip and do some sight seeing if i had the money. If not perhaps starting a project or devoting alot of time into a hobby (ie. Starcraft) would be nice.
Elegance, in all things.

I would go out and read as much as I could.
Also find easy girls in eastern europe...

I would travel the world. Go back to Germany, visit Croatia, some Asian countries as well. Spain and France, most likely... Italy... So on.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Even with fairly reasonable amount of cash flow, I'd probably still be conservative about it. Traveling is definitely in the mix, but as someone who likes to eat and blog, I'd probably spend a lot of time roaming the local Carolinas and American Southeast, embarking on a few food adventures for my blog. I would want to use the time as something I can benefit from later as well, so some volunteer projects and meeting Anthropologists (I'm an Anthro grad student) where I can would be good as well. Probably would want to sneak a trip over to Vietnam as well since it is four months, and get a feel for my ancestry, something I've very much wanted to do for both my studies and just personal satisfaction.

I'd go to Korea and study baduk. Also go out and enjoy the nightlife over there.

I've been living like this for about a year now. I wake up between 5-7 AM every day. Then I go to the gym for 2 hours +/- 30 minutes. Breakfast follows - I used to mix up where I go for breakfast, or even cook for myself, but now I just stick to somewhere on the way home from the gym.

This puts me in between 8:00 and 10:00 AM. Then I read until my eyes hurt (gogo pirated e-books). This takes about 5 hours. During early afternoon I feel less obligated to do physically or mentally challenging tasks, so I'll usually stick to one of the following:

- Go play video games with my nephews (nerd nephew for the win)

- Play SC2

- Browse TL

- Clean my house

- Go for a long drive blasting dubstep

- Nap


When night time rolls around I'll watch some TV: Daily Show, Colbert Report, Breaking Bad, Dexter, Archer. You know. Good shit.

I used to cap the night off by playing darts at my friend's bar, but there's no law banning smoking in bars in PA, so I just couldn't handle that anymore. I recently filled that gap with Rosetta Stone Japanese, anime, and fapping (no bars, no chicks). And no, the three don't go together in any way.

Financial security is awesome.

Also wrote a short novel.

Fly to Vegas, bet half your money on black, watch a live UFC event and your favorite concert, hire three stunning hookers for a week-long foursome, get smashed, beaten up, married and divorced, the works.

Then drive to Grand Canyon with two drops of top quality acid and do some soul searching under the moonlit sky.

Best news is after you've fully recovered you've still got 3 months.

I was going for a turn based strategy, but I can do anything that's 2D turn based with sprites.

We could team up! I can't do art, but I can code 2d games pretty fast. xD

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. 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.

Edit: The main goal isn't asking for advice. First of all it's a question for everyone who wants to think about it.


- Explore a foreign culture that interest you. Explore means: Visit and travel the country like a local; no planes, high-speed buses/trains, or similar, live around locals (no fancy hotels). If possible, find a (relevant) journey that has high historic/cultural/personal value, e.g. a religious pilgrimage, and participate in it. Engage with the foreign culture, do not distract yourself with fancy technology.

- The same as above, but for the country you live in. If you seek out the real culture and people hidden behind the veil of everyday drudgery (i.e., work), the experience will change you.

- If you are interested in self-discovery and/or spirituality, find a suitable monastery and spend your time there (meditating in silence; engaging in rituals; learning -- activity depends on your interest).

- Similar to the "find a journey" in the first point: Trek the Kilimanjaro; Everest base camp; or something similar. Force yourself to do it slowly, no rushing allowed. Slowing down is very hard, but after a few hours or days, you will see, notice, and realize things you would have missed otherwise.

That's just off the top of my head. I have done some of the above after I graduated, but I only had two months for it. Easily the most educational (in terms of life experience, etc.) two months I've lived through.


Edit: Do people really have nothing other they want to do than... what they already do every weekend? o_O

I would pick something along the lines of boxing, kickboxing, Shooto, Judo, etc. and do that for the four months
Why not?

well ive done exactly this, sept ive had a year to do nothing! honestly, i worked for a few years, saved some money, and just quit my job, sat here and played games for about a year now, drinking, smoking, having a good time, lifes about fun, not working til your 60 years old and trying to retire. The way i see it, ive got the rest of my life to probly work my ass off, well fuck it, im taking my extended vacation right now, and then back to work once the money well dries up. Funny people will make fun of me, but i dont care, work sucks, id rather work a few years, then take a year off, rinse and repeat, i also found that life sucks either way, so i dont really care what i do, just need to enjoy it before i bite the bullet.
