HELP ME! I have nothing to do this summer and I think I cooked my application

ECs and Activities

Short story short: I am a very high achieving student, end of my junior year. GPA, ACT, extracurriculars, awards... everything has been lining up well and I have the goal of getting into maybe an Ivy or a T20. All I have been telling myself is my junior summer needed to be the final touch. The pressure of finding something perfect... left me too paralyzed to find anything.

I felt so burnt out this year and didn't do my internship research in the winter. All my friends have gotten into prestigious summer programs and I literally have nothing, aside from applying to college. What can I do?? Anything helps.

Intended major: not chosen yet. Either am going to go on a pre-law track (poli sci / gov / econ), or something corporate like business/marketing.

Other interests: graphic design, historical research, writing

THANK YOU
