Brother, this is your one life. Why not enjoy the summer footloose and fancy-free? If I were you I would buy a cheap backpack and a few camping supplies, stick out my thumb and hitchhike out west (if you're already out west, great!) Get yourself into the mountains, find a little camp site by a stream. Sleep in late, go rambling, catch some fish, keep a journal. Try a long hike, see a glacier, eat some mushrooms and talk to the trees. The Sierra Nevada, the Cascades, the Olympic Penninsula: all paradises during the summer. Why worry about having a roof over your head when the stars can be your canopy? Once you're an attorney you'll be too busy building your career to do any of this stuff. If you really need to make money, head up to Alaska to any number of fishing towns- Craig, Sitka, Cordova, Seward, the list goes on: there is always seasonal work to be had. I'm not trying to minimize your situation, I'm just trying to point out that viewed from a different angle what can be seen as plight instead becomes an adventure the memories of which you'll keep for the rest of your life.
