Monasticism itself is a perpetual labor of conquering passions and uprooting them in order that, being in a pure and immaculate state, one may preserve oneself before the face of God. This, then, is your task! Give your attention to it, and direct all your powers toward it. - St. Theophan the Recluse

Besides what ProScribe has quoted, you may consider starting an online business. It takes little capital to set up, it's just a bit time intensive at the start. But you could be making a small fortune by the end of summer and be able to pay your own college fees when the time comes! Look out to be an affiliate of a good in-demand product, and just set up a blogspot site to promote it. Join with paypal, and away you go!:)

Plenty on the subject to google too, and enough forums to help out. Give it a try!

Or volunteer work. See if your local Habitat for Humanity needs help.

Read books

Learn a language - Greek or Russian might be a good start ;)

Go for walks in nature and try to keep a record of what you see - write it down, draw it if you can (I can't draw to save my life, but I know some people can!)

Go swimming. A lot. That's what I do in summer!

learn to cook ... I taught my boys how to cook, and they are wonderful cooks (at the age of 25) :)
