Broke on a 2‑week work break at my parents’ place—how can I make it productive?

[Anonymous]

I’m on a 2 week vacay.

thing is I’m broke. Had so many bills, commute so far, low pay. I might even not return & looking for new job.
i plan start school full time & need a good paying part time job.
im living my parents senior studio apt in a small town where there's not much do.
I have side job as door dash and uber eats delivery worker , i can go to the pool downstairs today, workout at home& eat a lot to gain back weight I lost from the warehouse job.
what else i can do?

i made wishlist on amazon of things I want buy soon.

im learning to cook.

my check should be paid on 30th. I plan use half to savings.
what else I can do?

Take some reasonable rest and decompression because you don't wholly want to work from desperation and scarcity consciousness. Allow yourself some pleasure.

If you lost weight during a warehouse job that was most likely fat and you don’t need to gain that back

You're doing great. If you want more, there are plenty of free online course you can do and get certificates. Great to add to your resumé

Advisor Smith here. Use these two weeks as a reset, not just a break.

- Clarify direction: Write a 6‑month plan: target school/program, start date, tuition plan, ideal part‑time job (hours, pay, skills).
- Job search prep: Update resume, LinkedIn, and create a simple one‑page “part‑time resume” focused on reliability and customer service. Draft a basic cover letter.
- Skill building: Free online courses (Coursera, YouTube) in Excel, basic bookkeeping, or customer service—helps with office/remote jobs.
- Money plan: List all bills, minimums, and due dates; build a simple budget for when school starts.
- Health: Daily walk, simple workouts, cook 1 new meal each day. This will help your energy for the transition.
