I am taking a gap year and have no obligations from June of this year (when I graduate high school) until at least August 2016. At this point, I have no idea how I'm going to fill all of this time. I'd love to hear your suggestions for how best to take advantage of this opportunity.

A couple of notes on my situation:

- I'll be a minor (< 18 y/o) for this whole time period

- I have saved up a good amount of money from working this past year, so I'm okay on that front as long as I don't go crazy

- I've been accepted into a top-10 Computer Science program for admission this fall that doesn't let students defer for a whole year. I feel like I have a good shot at a top-5 or top-3 school if I apply again this fall (for admission next year). I don't necessarily want to go to college yet, but I also don't take being accepted there for granted.

- I'm located in the SF Bay Area

Cheers :)
