Is it normal that i'm dreading summer because my friend won't be available?

My only close friend who I hang out with is almost never available during the summer. We both go to college and last year I asked him if we could hang out over the summer after our last final exam, and I didn't see him again until the first day of the following fall semester. I heard from him every now and then over the summer, but I did not see him at all because he was always so fucking busy! He had a summer camp job in June and then miss-prioritized in July by choosing to go on vacation with another friend for a week, which I found insulting, even though I know he was not thinking about me when he did it, which was the main problem. I had asked him to hang out and tried to contact him at least once a week. He was so busy that one week he did not respond at all and it made me physically sick. I could not eat well during this time and overall I functioned horribly. The highlight of my week was getting by blood drawn, which means that my week must have really been terrible. I know he had some free days, because it's almost impossible to have a summer without a free day, but he did not attempt to make plans with me at all! It was the worst summer ever in this since. My brother had also recently gotten a job, so he could not take me to the beach. I had almost zero fun last summer. At some points I wanted to die, though not really. I can't and don't want to go through this again in three months for another three months. I just read that hurricane season is in 90 days, which made me realize how close my almost certain torture is. Our last day of finals is May 11! I can't believe how soon this is coming. He MUST hang out with me over the summer, or I may go out of my mind, especially if he chooses other friends over me. Is it normal to dread summer because of this experience?

    You sound like a clingy friend. You might need to make more friends.

    It's completely normal, but what its not normal is that you are complaining about it instead of doing something!! !Join some kind of summer camp too, you'll meet people!

    You sound way too dependent on your friend and that's not healthy. Make your own plans to keep busy for the summer.
