First summer after high school, what happens now?

The first time after high school

School is soon over and your brain is now filled with memories from student days, internal jokes with the Poles, and of course a long list of math formulas. With the world at your feet, there is now only one leap left in adulthood. It can feel overwhelming, because all those questions about the future that felt so far away, are now starting to pile up and feel very current. What should you do after high school?

Student records

There is a lot to look forward to with the last time before you finish high school. Take advantage of the student records, but do not let them go over the grades. Take your grades very seriously now and rather look ahead, towards the final album, the first party after the student. Student day is long, from champagne breakfast to final slice. ends. Eat and mingle properly at your nice student reception, here you are still celebrated by your parents. When it's over, it's time to pack up and go to the final disc, with the class.

The summer after high school

The first summer after high school is different than previous summers. Even if you have a summer job, unemployment is approaching. Questions about the future are constantly present and many just want to pack up and go to Asia to backpack already now. Take advantage of the summer after high school by working extra while you have your regular summer job. By working extra, you quickly build up the travel fund so that you can get going as quickly as possible.See also our summer job guide.

Work after high school

Finding the first job often takes longer than you think. Even if you have a summer job or extra job, it is not a guarantee to find a job this autumn. Do not think too much about what you want to do, the first job after high school is for you to learn more about yourself and what is important to you. When you start working after the student, the most important thing is that you start thinking about what you want to do with the money. Do you save for the trip abroad? Are you stopping to find an apartment? Or maybe you are preparing the student fund? Set a goal and get started!Read more our guide to finding local jobs.

Start studying

It may not feel very attractive right now, most people who applied for studies directly after high school state that they mostly did it as a security in case they do not find a job immediately. But it can be a good idea to take a good look at studies as an option. Starting to study directly certainly means more years at school, but the university is different. As a college student, the plug is heavier; but life is more fun than ever before. Studying at the university means more personal responsibility, more CSN and more time to explore exactly what you want. Do you feel like traveling? Study abroad! Do you feel like focusing on the social? Find a student association! Yes, college life means a lot of opportunities.University is not the only option for you who want to study. It is becoming increasingly common today to take a so-called vocational education in schools such as Nackademin,Berghs or Forsbergs. These are schools that have a more practical character and where you study to find a job that is more specific in the professional area you want to apply for.

Move from home

Moving away from home after high school is not the easiest thing. The queue days to find a tenancy are not directly high and the savings account is not the most well-stocked. But there is every chance of moving out of the childhood home. The most common is that you move away from home in connection with the beginning of your studies. In most of Sweden's larger cities, there are a large number of different organizations that provide student housing. In Stockholm, SSSB, Stockholm City's Student Housing, is by far the largest in the area.You do not have to be a student to move away from home. Subletting can be just right; but expensive, alternative for you who want to move away from home even before your studies. Chasing home puts your creativity to the test and you may need to look around for creative solutions that you may not have thought of before. More and more people are moving into public transport, renting individual rooms or joining a friend to rent. If you live in a big city, there are many municipalities that are a bit outside the city and that have more, and cheaper, apartments available.
