(note: xposted at Summer Programs but I wanted to know what you all think.)

I’m a junior and I’m thinking about what to do this summer. My two options are pretty much either taking college classes at UPenn (because I’ll probably apply there early next year) or interning at a small literary publication in New York City (I really like writing and that whole scene). I live in New York so interning there wouldn’t be a problem and I’ll probably travel in August. I wouldn’t get paid, but money isn’t really an issue- like, my parents said they’re okay with paying for the classes and stuff.

Both seem equally enticing. As in, I would be equally excited to do either of these two things. Which one looks better for college?
