Minimum 90 days to wait for my OPT and EAD

I was so set on going back home to the Philippines after graduation. But my family here in the States finally persuaded me to apply for the OPT and work for a year. The problem is, I applied late (like...days after our graduation) so now I have at least 90 days of waiting before I can even work.

I'm planning on getting a job in Editorial/Publishing after I get my EAD.

But, what can I do while I wait? I know I can't work without an EAD. Does that include being paid to babysit or mow lawns? Get freelance jobs online? Volunteer at a senior center in exchange for food and lodging? Sell lemonade in my aunty's neighborhood? Sell artwork on Etsy? Sell designs on Society6?

Sorry. I just really want to explore my options to see if there's anything I can do while waiting so I don't drain my savings completely.

Thanks, y'all!

At the same time April 2021 showed up on my account as the expected completion date. Last week, the status was "17 days". Today the estimated time of completion has disappeared!!! Any idea what that means? More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
