As Graduation looms nearer

I'm graduating in December and this is a really scary thought. I was talking to my friend about it yesterday and we realized that if we graduate in December and start grad school (or in his case medical school) in August, we have 8 months to spare. We both agreed that we need to work, but who would hire someone for only 8 months? Surely a restaurant or something, but we both want something more science-y, academic and mentally challenging. It's really scary to think about what the future holds. I have a lot of friends who graduated in May and they're all off doing completely different things. Some are back at home, looking for a job and readjusting to family life. Some went to grad school or medical school. Some have stuck around East Lansing or their college town to relive the glory days. And some are doing completely different jobs around the country. I really want to go abroad somewhere and learn about the water problems in those areas. I don't know how that will fit into grad school interviews and all, but I'd like to find an organization where I can go for a month or 2 and just live the dream there.

Also, I just got an email that students can be speakers for graduation. I have zero idea why I'm considering it, but I am. I have a mediocre GPA compared to others, way less extracurricular activities besides my study abroad, and haven't always loved school as much as others seem to enjoy school. But I love MSU with all my heart. Hmm. Thoughts?
