Looking for recommendations for what to do while waiting for IIs. They could be irrelevant to med school (read a specific book, try a particular sport, etc.), or they could be about improving your application, about interview prep, or anything really. I'm just looking for things to fill my time with.
 
Wait, refreshing my tabs every 37 seconds isn't considered an activity?

It's going to be a LONG year.
 
Relax, spend some time with your family, or travel. All things that I'm doing while also practicing some for my interviews.
 
If you don't already know how to cook, explore recipes and techniques for healthy, quick, inexpensive meals & snacks that can be made in a few minutes or prepped and stored. For example, collect and test "salad in a jar" recipes, soups and stews, sheet pan meals. Having some fall back ideas will save you time and money which will come in handy whatever the future may bring.
