What to Do During a Semester Break Before Grad School?

[wotanub]

First of all, it's not what you think. I'm going to graduate with a BS in Physics in December, and I'm wondering what to do in the following Spring semester before I enter graduate school in the Fall of 2013.

Any ideas? I really don't know.

Tutor physics, study more math, read a grad level text

Enjoy some time off: travel, read, do things that you always put off, spend time with family and friends, date around, work a part time job, and drink and be merry.

If you have qualifiers, study for those. If you feel refreshed after a semester off, maybe contact the professor at your school with whom you want to work and see if you can get started on research the summer before.

take the courses you didn't have time for outside of your major...

Work full or part time, read whether math or physics, or in other areas. Travel if one has the funds. If not working, then volunteer in the community or overseas.

Make money and alleviate the stress of being a typical broke grad student.
