Yah, either high school friends have been through their own changes and aren't quite the same themselves, or they haven't yet and the gap is sort of there between you.
Of the three summers that were between years of college, I spent the latter two doing summer research away from home. I don't know if that'll turn out to be possible in fields that interest you, but it was really good for me not just in terms of having a sense of career stuff but also socially. The summer research things were a lot more congruent with where I was then than hanging out with my high school friends would have been.
Not that greykev is not awesome; he is awesome. But I think part of why greykev and I have been each other's adopted siblings so well is that we weather changes in each other much better than some of our other friends from that time did (or would have if they'd had the chance).
