I spent my summer perfecting my karaoke rendition of "Moving Out" and eating my way through every burrito in Los Angeles in an effort to find the tastiest (the stand at the Hollywood farmers market, FYI).
Oh, and I interned for GOOD. I fact-checked for the print magazine (spending much of my time learning about awesome and strange topics) and wrote a weekly books column. I even got to eat my first Dunkaroo in probably 15 years in the name of reporting.
Meanwhile, my fellow undergrads have been collectively kicking ass at creating, inventing, helping out, and generally being awesome. They traveled abroad, started their own companies, undertook amazing design projects, and directed sold-out plays. Each one of the individuals featured here provides a solid response to anyone with something negative to say about “kids these days".
So here's a look at how 21 inspiring young adults spent their summers. Consider it a preview of the newest generation of innovators.
