Congrats! School is fun. I'm headed into my third year of engineering, and can't wait till autumn rolls around again. Worked in a produce department in Walmart for a couple months this summer to save a little, and quit three days back. Nothing exciting, just like you said, very mundane and repetitive stuff. But that's all going to change in September.
I've enjoyed it a ton! I'm actually doing an internship this summer at a little startup, doing embedded Linux software to control a generator. It's been fun and has kinda made me wonder whether I want to do more electrical things, not just computer. I'd definitely encourage you to get an internship in engineering one of these summers. I can't say that getting a job without any connections is especially easy, as I got my internship through networking, but it definitely is possible. Like you mentioned in your top-level comment, I'm really excited for autumn to roll around so I can get back to classes.
