What to do this summer

It's about the time of year to start thinking about what I am going to do this coming summer.  Ever since I've been in college I have lived away from home which, is the way I prefer things to be.  The summer after my freshman year I lived and worked in North Carolina.  This past summer I lived in Norman and did absolutely nothing productive.  On top of that I worked 40 yours a week and went to rush events the entire summer before college meaning I have practically lived away from home for the past three summers.  

My summer of living in North Carolina was a blast although I worked a lot.  I stayed in Chapel Hill so I was 2 hours away from the mountains and 2 hours away from the beach.  Aside from being away from my friends it was one of the most fun summers I have ever experienced.  I learned a lot about how different the culture was just 1200 miles down I-40.  My only regret is not taking enough time to enjoy living there.

My summer living in Norman was absolutely crazy.  I was payed by my fraternity to recruit new members meaning all expenses were taken care of.  My days consisted of waking up around noon and going to the pool.  Later in the day I started coordinating recruiting events.  At nights we went out to the bars and all of us were pretty much worthless.  I worked 15 hours a week for the University Development office where I pretty much did nothing.  It seems like a pretty dull summer but I cant imagine having a better one.  Nothing beats living with 10 of my best friends and doing whatever we wanted whenever we wanted.

This summer I think might be my first summer to live at home since being in college.  I have a feeling it will be a long summer.  I live at home during winter breaks and I have a hard time living with rules.  I think three months of my parents rules will be a little too much for me.  I plan on interning for a lawferm and studying for the LSAT which I will take on June 8th.  But I will still be living under the same roof as my parents which will be an experience.  The only thing that will keep me from going insane is if I become a nomad and stay at random people's apartments in Norman.  If anybody is experienced in the field of living at home let me know.  I need advice.  Please pray for me.
