Are you the type that has a traveling streak in your blood? If so, then why not travel around the world? Study each country before you go there, learn the rules and then go! Perhaps you have a friend that could go along with you on each trip? Of course, this is going to cost some money.

Go to College
If you believe that you are college material, then why not go to college? Think about what you want to be. There are so many things, such as a video game designer, doctor, lawyer and much more. Pick the career that fits you the most and aim for it.

How long did you just go to school? If you started in kindergarten and went up until 12th grade, then you have been to school for 13 years. Why not take a short break? Unless you plan on going to college, you should know that the summer after you graduation will be the last summer you will have to yourself, so use it wisely! After the summer, your whole life is going to begin and it’s not so easy out there.

After you spent the last years reading what your teachers wanted to read, you now have some time on your end to read whatever you want. There are some pretty interesting books out there. I like horror books. What about you?

Get a Job
I had a job as soon as I could when I was in high school and I kept that job all through high school. I understand that some people do not have jobs in high school, so why not go out and get a job right after high school? This is a great way to start out in the world – making money.

Many guy (and girls) decide that the service is the best thing for them. So, right after high school, they go to the recruiter and decide that they will join the military. If you are able to survive past boot camp, then you are in. When it comes time to re-enlist, it is your decision if you want to or not. You could actually make a career out of it and climb the ladder. Maybe you could make it to the top and have a high rank?

Spend Some Time with Your Parents
Before you know it, your life is going to start. You are going to move out of their home and possibly start a family of your own sometime down the road. You should spend some time with your parents. You may find that they are fun to be with and I know they will not mind having you around.
There you have 7 things to do after you graduate high school. Your life has just begun, you are no longer a “child” and you are free to do what you want, as long as it is legal. What do you think you will do?
