Life: It’s more than a Milton Bradley board game—I’ve yet to roll a dice and become a Millionaire Tycoon. There’s also more to it than you’ll learn by sitting on the couch eating Cheetos. Seek out life experiences beyond the TV—go across town, across country, or across the globe. Explore travel, volunteer, and leadership experiences.

Gap Year Experiences Allow us to fill you in on a little secret discovered by those smart kids in Australia and the UK: THE GAP YEAR. This has nothing to do with clothing (or our cheesy jokes) but with taking a year off between high school and college. You can travel, volunteer, work, or essentially find your footpath outside of the college campus. Leadership Experiences It’s more than just team-building exercises—falling blindly into a group of peers to build trust. One of the major qualities employers look for is leadership and various programs and camps have been designed to provide you with the qualities needed to run your school newspaper, head your fraternity, and ultimately kick start your career. Experiences Abroad There are entire cities, countries, and continents outside of your campus in the cornfields. When again will you be able to pick up and move to another country for six months? Studying abroad gives you an opportunity to break out of your stuffy lecture halls, travel the world, and meet new people. Volunteer Experiences Rebuild houses in New Orleans, tutor peers at adult literacy centers, mentor a junior high student. Whether you’re into old folks, young folks, traipsing through forests, or answering phones—there’s about a million and one volunteer opportunities in your town or two continents over. |
