It's almost winter. Ski resorts are hiring. You can meet awesome people in a very low pressure work environment (hey -- a non-college ready made social scene that doesn't cost 40K a year) and have access to head-clearing, soul uplifting physical activity that beats the hell out of jogging. And you'll still have the time and energy to code if you want. And if you want it to be not just a distraction, well, it's a big time industry with connections to other big time industries, and it's really easy to meet and talk with the higher ups at the resort about how your talents might find a place in that world that's not just shovelling snow or selling tickets.
Caveat: I also upvoted the "go to college" comment.
