What do I do with my life now?

So I've had my unconditional offer submitted and confirmed and what not. Have got my accommodation all sorted for when I start in September and everything, but what now?

I'm from Australia and so I have 8 months before I fly over to the UK for Uni and have no idea what to do with all this spare time! I can't really go traveling as I've just finished a gap year as I was supposed to start Uni in Australia next month, but accepted into my top preference for overseas (and had the parents blessings to do so!).

I do hope to maybe do a tiny bit more traveling, as well as a bit of work to earn some quick cash, but what else can I do in the next couple months!?

1 You could get details on the course and do some prep.
2. help your parents as I assume they are going to help financially.
3. Earn money. It will give you freedom and options.

I would save your money for travel when you get to the UK as it could be once in a lifetime and it also puts Europe well within reach.

You could save up a reasonable amount in 8 months.

Thanks for the reply tigger! I quite like the first idea - but not sure how I go across this. Would I have to do this independently or do you think there'd be someone I could contact to just get some more background prep.

As for helping parents out - they're actually recently retired so they have actually moved to a different state in Australia than where I live. Quite an interesting conundrum, haha!

I am obviously thinking of saving money - however you mention travelling around Europe, I worked in the UK at a Prep school in England so had summer holidays off last year where I travelled Europe (about 14 countries) and blew through an easy £4000 whilst doing so, which I don't regret!

I was thinking of maybe working five months or so, and trying to fit in a bit of travel around Asia before I leave, but all my Australian friends would be in uni and won't be able to travel and don't really want to solo travel Asia (although I did it in Europe and had plenty of fun!).
