It definitely is hard. Some of those people meant really much to me...
To be honest, I don't have much opportunities to fill the void during the summer because I study abroad (150km, but still a different country). I live in a village next to a big town and I hate that town, so you can imagine that I don't feel like finding friends here. Also, when it comes to friendships, I need to see the person irl at least sometimes and during the last year, my studies didn't allow to go out during the weekends. In addition, I have one lifelong health problem which requires rather strict diet so every weekend I came home to grab some food for a few days.

I study IT in Czechia. The next semester starts on 18th Sep. In the meantime, I need to furnish the place where I live there. I have two or three classes in the mornings, two during evenings, other in early afternoon
