Maybe you want things to stay the same until you want them to change. Maybe you want some things to stay the same, and for the rest to be open and flexible. Maybe you care about having a house, car, etc (stable), but the freedom to explore various career choices and life. That's fairly common. You usually achieve that by temporarily giving up some freedom to acquire some assets, then you relax into the freedom and flexibility it buys you. You have to work it out so that you'll get what you need when it's all over. That said, the world is ever conspiring to make freedom and stability mutually exclusive, which is BS.
As for me in college, I was able to say "screw everyone," because I worked it out. I had work done ahead of time, because I knew I'd procrastinate (so when I got the motivation, I wouldn't stop until I was ahead of the game). Classes were easy, so it was only a matter of time before I had 2-3 weeks of buffer, and could escape the college scene in favor of other interests. I also didn't try to finish everything (though it rarely mattered as everything got done), only the most important things. So that way, I'd never get stressed, because I knew I was always doing what really mattered.
I don't commit myself to anything, and instead prepare my mind to take the flack for not being "reliable" or a "team player" (far from the truth). Everything I do is either necessary, or on the way out.
Also, you have to decide which is more important, stable or Ne. Do the one that's more important first, and have the other work around the first. So, if you pick Ne and want to travel (if it's a serious thing versus just a random idea), then you know that you are going to travel, and the only question then is how you are going to make it all work (traveling while not messing up your grades). Eventually, you want to make the process of figuring out how to make it all work innate and easy so it doesn't seem like work when you have to do it, and so that it doesn't depress you. If you are at a point where stable is more important, then you know you are going to focus on school, and then you go from there.
