What to do if you're bored, overwhelmed, underwhelmed, just whelmed...




Take a look at any of the books or magazines on the bookshelf.

Look up various 4-year colleges online you might be interested in. Schedule a tour if you like!

Look up volunteer opportunities. Here is a great place to start: https://www.auroragov.org/LivingHere/GivingBack/AuroraVolunteerCenter/

Make a web of all of the different networks you have that could help support you in college and find a job in the meantime.

Take a look and experiment on this site: http://www.360financialliteracy.org/

Interview someone in your family, life, or here at school about how they got to where they are in life or professionally. Summarize or show a clip to the class after if you like!

Write a resume for a fictional character from a book you've read: http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/resume/

Grab a quote from the "Bin O' Quotes" on the back table and write what you think about that quote.

Write a note to a friend or staff member here at Futures and give it to them after class.

Write down 7 things you like about yourself. Share them with someone. (I double dare you.)
