If you answered mostly..., this summer you will be:

A’s: Working at (or starting!) a startup.

You’re a visionary with entrepreneurial spirit, a loveably geeky CS concentrator, or a mixture of both. Whether you’re at Facebook, Google, or another startup that embodies Silicon Valley culture, this summer you’ll be hanging around smart people, innovating for the future, and spending long hours coding in front of a lighted screen so that your app/website/invention can be the next big knockoff of Pinterest.

B’s: Traveling or studying abroad.

You’re adventurous, free-spirited, and ready to travel the world! Whether you’re studying abroad somewhere beautifully exotic, blogging for Let’s Go, or exploring the world on a traveling fellowship, you’re ready to meet people, expand your horizons, and fill up your passport with stamps. Have fun living it up internationally, and try not to get too tan!

C’s: Gaining experience at a professional internship.

You’re a yuppie in training: no-nonsense, hyper-focused, and goal-oriented. You’ve already snagged that banking internship at Goldman, consulting internship at McKinsey, or political internship at the White House. This summer, you’ll be furthering your career ambitions; someday you plan to take over the world. In the meantime, best of luck with those Excel spreadsheets/PowerPoint slides/coffee deliveries!

D’s: Doing research in a lab.

You’re a premed or STEM concentrator: practical, hardworking, and eager to make new scientific discoveries. Whether you’re culturing bacteria in a petri dish, calculating the results of your latest survey, or painstakingly measuring out solutions for your titration, you somehow make goggles and a white lab coat look good! Have fun logging hours at your lab this summer, and don’t forget to go outside!
