I need something to do over the summer.

[xerent]

I currently live on campus, and have no plans after May 17th.

There's always the 'move in somewhere for 3 months and get a job to pay rent' option, but that's kind of boring.

Any ideas?

[Snowolf]

Work as a chofer<(sp) on a cruise ship. You get paid and get to take a cruise.

[The AIDS Virus]

Umm... well where are you? Your options are going to be different if you live in Colorado as opposed to somewhere on the coast.

[Duraza]

......
I live in Colorado. STALKER!

anyways, try selling your body on the internet for money.

[IcyHelix]

Learn a new skill.

Like carpentry.

Then you'll have more options.

[Mithrandir]

Read good books. Dante's Divine Comedy would be a good start.

[Duraza]

touche'
take up a new athletic hobby. Skateboarding, BMX, or something of the sort. Chances are if you do that the whole summer, you won't be half bad at the end, and you may be able to turn it into something more.

[WaCk-HeAd]

Help me survive mine.

[xerent]

I live in NY.

And I'm looking for ideas where I can sustain myself. I know I can get a job at a bookstore, or as a tech over the summer, but location isn't of utmost importance.

[The AIDS Virus]

Join the Geek Squad.

[bloodreign]

You should look for hot international models to hit on, TELL THEM THEY ARE UGLY.. it helps to use reverse psycology.

Find out where those talent show s are filming "american idol, randy jacksons dance show , americas got talent....and crash the shows.

But as for sustainability i don't know.
NY is a big place with lots of opportunity.


I'd say to the cruise ship thing.

[Wizzy`]

Come hang out with me and yura. :cool:

[Faulty Logic]

Go to Nantucket Island..it's off the North eastern coast. Mad bank there, you can get a job as a waiter and chill back as you get great tips and other 'perks' to the job... its something I'm considering....

I'll get you more details soon if you want.... living on an island is fun. :cool:

[IcyHelix]

Go to California and party.

Rich people, cheap drinks...

What more could you want?

[gryph89]

Run around naked in Times Square.

[IcyHelix]

Yeah.

Then we get to see you on the news... and probably the daily show.

Come to Athens. I promise you nekkid women.

[IcyHelix]

In your basement?

[The AIDS Virus]

Run around naked in Times Square.

Hahahaha. No.

[mantis33]

Prostitution.

[IcyHelix]

I'd buy some.

[CPC]

Go to California and party.

Well the hawt Cali women too... duh! I live on the coast, so I'm sexy.

[IcyHelix]

It's an automatic sexy if you're in shape, live in CA, and have symmetrical features.

[abhimanu]

Come to Athens. I promise you nekkid women.

I'm running the Marathon in Marathon next fall. I'll see you there Jeff ;).

[xerent]

Come to Athens. I promise you nekkid women.

I'm knocking on your door. You hear that? Yea. That's me. Let me in. Hey... wait... where are you going? LET ME IN! Oh, hey, there you are, you came back. Awesome, now open the doo.... wait, what's that in your hand? Oh... shi...

/run.

[Faulty Logic]

I didnt know Jeff lived in Austria... :confused::confused::eek:

(I know I'm a hoprrible person)

[shurtugal]

Run around naked in Times Square.

Prostitution.

Now we're thinking :bigsmile:

But honestly, just sleep all day long, thats how great things get acomplished.

[abhimanu]

[Memory of Light]

[The AIDS Virus]

"Learn a new skill.

yeah, I agree with whoever said that

[Ächilles]

You should get a job somewhere not too urban with nearby wilderness, and just trying living in a tent all summer. Walk to work everyday, then come home to your hippie pad on the lake.

[Anarchy_United]

Trick-or-Treating on random days.
Build a tree-fort
Backpack accross the US.
Try to break the record for most hours gone with finger up your nose.

Water rafting companies


Good money, lots of fun, some of them provide a place to crash during the days you're not working.
I've been doing it off and on for years and highly recommend it for a summer experience.


Will agree with the "new skill" idea, too. My first summer in college a few of my friends and myself traveled to Florida for a summer and painted houses as a business for a few months. Maybe not the greatest concept in the world, but easy to learn and setup for, and easy to earn money at. If the more manual and blue collar work doesn't suit you, maybe brush up on your css and html and study hard at web design.


To the "goto California" one...you can't afford to just come out here and "live" for a few months without a real plan, don't bother.

[pils]

Finish T:G.

[Match Strike]

Get a job and pay my rent.

[mushroom_girl]

Xer, just marry me.

:wub:

[xerent]

Xer, just marry me.

:wub:

To do that, I have to stop stalking you from the bushes.

[xerent]

..

[Jeffery]

Use the cameras that were installed.

So that was you on the other side of the lawn :confused:

[Hugh Junit]

You could ask to move into Snork's basement for the summer. I'm pretty sure he'd let you live there rent free.
But there's a decent chance you wouldn't make it out alive.

[shurtugal]

I miss snorky :(

[TGR Leader]

I live in Colorado. STALKER!

Colorado. Isn't that awesome:cool:.

[Scorpionz]

Go work at an amusement park.

it's funny you said painting because that's what I was actually thinking

I've done some painting before, mostly small offices that need to be completely re done (new carpets, usually fix old beat up walls, etc) and it's actually pretty decent work. It can be hard, but you certainly aren't going to break your back doing it

I had to renovate an old church once, that was actually a pain in the ass. The ceiling was about 40 feet up and covered in mureals(sp?) that had to be avoided, not to mention having to move all the pews and avoiding all the ceremonial stuff (irreplacable for the most part) but the money was good and it was a fun experience in the end

[Faulty Logic]

Athens is in Greece...

I was referring to the recent findings of a man keeping his daughter locked in a basement for 24 years in Austria....

[Lonely Tylenol]

Can you play an instrument? :)

I'm going to be working on my Japanese for the next 8 months, since my teacher is going to be on sabbatical during the fall. During this time I hope to finish this kanji book I've been working on in 102, which equates to about 300 more kanji in the next 8 months.

[WaCk-HeAd]

Yeah, but people having women locked up in their basement is in Austria.

Edit: Oops, missed Faulty's answer.

[uniquinous]

I am tempted to misquote that and put it in my siggy...

[xerent]

Will all seriousness, if your not like a rapist or extremely annoying im sure we wouldnt mind you stopping by for a few months and eating all our food.

I'll take you up on that offer.

[Wizzy`]

I'll take you up on that offer.

Oh, but you wont come hang out with me and yura?

[The AIDS Virus]

[Wizzy`]

[R G]

I live in NY.

And I'm looking for ideas where I can sustain myself. I know I can get a job at a bookstore, or as a tech over the summer, but location isn't of utmost importance.

First thing you should consider is moving from NY(unless you are talking Upstate NY) cost of living is too much.

Or you could try becoming homeless...find a good grocery cart and blend in...make sure you piss and crap in the street like the rest of them do....adds to the smell of NY City.

[Phnx]

Read good books. Dante's Divine Comedy would be a good start.

WORST suggestion on THE PLANET..EVER!!!

[Lost.Boy]

I live in New Jersey.

best state =) you should go.

[Wizzy`]

best state =) you should go.

Nessy doesn't live in Jersey!
