Summer is different for everyone. If you have a significant other then summer is going to be three months of sunny days and beaches spent with that person.
If you are single then summer may be a radically different story for you. For the majority of people, summer will signify the end of classes, three months of earning money and fun in the sun.
Some of us will find ourselves behind a desk at a low level internship just waiting to build up experience on our resumes. All of this for our chance to land that great job after we graduate. This may make a summer boring and repetitive, but in the end hopefully it will have been worth it.
Then there are summers where you work 40 hours a week, play a summer sport, have to find time to get in the gym and still manage to maintain a steady relationship. That type of summer is about getting as much accomplished as possible.
The truth is there is so much pressure on students to have huge internships during the season that we find ourselves with summers more stressful than the school year. This does not leave time for love or hook ups.
If you believe that your four years spent at college are enough to allow you to coast through your summers you are wrong. If you want to succeed you are going to have to find a balance between work and a social life whether it is for hooking up or for love.
