What can I do to focus more on me for a bit? 'Cause I know he has no problem doing that for himself, but I've always been the kind of person who does things for people... And I'd really like to do something for myself, but it feels like I just don't know how. When I'm alone for an hour it drives me nuts! I wish I could feel comfortable being alone with myself, but it has happened so rarely over the summer that it makes me feel weird instead of relaxed.

I think it's time for some space? :\
I really do love my boyfriend but we've been spending so much time together that I kind of feel stifled.. But the thing is I'm not sure what to do with that free time! lol I'm so used to spending so much time with him, but I really have to get used to being away from him, too, because we hardly get to spend time with one another during the school year because we're both so busy.

Well being alone isn't necessarily the same thing as "me" time. You could have "me" time by going out with some girlfriends, getting your nails done, going to a movie... Just do stuff that people your age like to do, but without your boyfriend.
It's good to spend time apart. Makes the time together that much sweeter.
