<p>I was looking through summer jobs to help me pay for my tuition (I’ll be a freshman at Davidson college next year), and I had an epiphany:</p>
<p>After I graduate from college, I will have no summer vacations.</p>
<p>Obvious, yes, but this, to my structure-hating ADHD mind, is unacceptable. </p>
<p>I’m just a kid, I know, and I’m expected to “get over it”, but…</p>
<p>I’m a good kid. I’m empathic. I’m always willing to take one for the team, or even take one for someone I don’t like. The point is, I can DEAL with these things, because I’m not a whiny snob. However, I feel like the lack of summer vacation will completely destroy my mind. I’m not lazy, as I do do stuff like creative writing and philosophizing in my spare time (to give you an idea about how much, I philosophize and write in my head pretty much ALL the time, no matter what I’m doing, and I’m self-studying graduate level philosophy.), but I don’t think I could stand never having month long extended periods of free time…</p>
<p>Does anyone here have any advice on how they handled this? I really think I’m going to go insane.</p>
