What ever happened to summer?
"Princeton students are interning in exotic places, shaking hands with some of the most influential people of our time and researching complex things. For students from less competitive universities, sometimes a summer is just that: a summer. Sure, someone might be studying abroad. But I’ve rarely heard anyone at Princeton saying that they were, for example, working at a boardwalk all summer or just relaxing. There is a feature of our environment to constantly be working in places and organizations that will gain respect from our peers, such as a hedge fund or a cutting-edge laboratory."
I mean...I just want to go to the beach / be a great summer camp counselor but that always feels inadequate to everyone who's going to China and building homes and teaching English and changing lives.
