#1 is better. You could use "vacations" if you mean you'll go on a summer vacation more than once.

Thank you very much for your answer:) Do you think that is because the choice of "After I get in college" sounds more like talking about immediate future, say, after a couple of days or weeks after you get into college? This kind of nuance is very hard to tell from a non-native speaker:(
