<p>Instead of taking a 12 day trig course this summer should I start a travel blog (I will be visiting London, Paris, and Israel this summer + little towns across SO. Cal.)?
My GC suggested that I always have something to show for my summers and because of my month long family trip it will be diffiult for me to take summer school/get a job/volunteer work.
I do have some familiarity with blogging, what do you guys think?
How would I present this to admissions in my application since I will have a blank spot on my transcript for that summer?</p>
<p>Really? No one… it’s almost summer…</p>
<p>Why don’t you do both.</p>
<p>You have a 10-12 week summer break. A four week family trip is not a good reason to do nothing for the rest of the summer. It will not be hard to find volunteer opportunities for your remaining time.</p>
<p>Why don’t you do things that reflect your innate interests rather than an orchestrated perception of what you think makes you look interesting. </p>
<p>Be interesting, don’t just appearto be interesting.</p>
<p>But frankly, it’s nothing you should worry about. Either you are or you aren’t and there’s not much to change that.</p>
<p>Be yourself and do your darndest not to give a **** about what others think. For you, I think that will be a huge challenge (just read your thread about your anxiety about not taking summer school). Your user name is a giveaway as well. Please devote some time into this area of development of your character however. Good luck</p>
