As a current senior that has applied to colleges and is waiting for decisions, what should be my priority now (besides maintaining grades, etc.)? I would like to start my own business in the future and I'm not sure if I should begin to invest my time in starting a small business/hustle or find something to potentially do in the summer. I wouldn't mind having a job; however, I'm not even sure how to really start in that area. I do not want to spend my time doing jobs where I earn money but don't gain practical skills/value. Overall, I want to start 2026 with clear goals for myself as I move to a life outside of my home. Any tips are appreciated. :)
