Should I feel bad for quitting my minimum wage job?

I'm a university student who has been working at a summer job for about a month now. The job is at a recycling depot that was shut down for almost 2 months prior due to coronavirus restrictions. Now, they're SUPER busy and trying to make up for lost time. After 5 weeks we have made very little progress because there are so many customers coming in, and it is barely slowing down. They generally have 5-6 people on staff, but right now they have 9 (including 3 summer students). I actually worked at this depot back in High School 3 years ago, but I came back when my old manager recruited me because they were having a hard time finding good employees.

The problem is that I've been incredibly busy this summer. I didn't work two days in my first week because because I had appointments that I had scheduled before accepting the position. Another reason is that I've been applying for internships for the fall. At one point I ended up having 5 interviews all in the same week, and in order to attend all of them I had to take 2 half-days off (I scheduled the other interviews so that they didn't conflict with my job). My employer was aware of this and had no problem letting me have those days. I also asked for Friday and Monday off this weekend so that I could rent out a cottage with my family, which my boss was not too happy about but agreed to it. My parents sort of roped me into the trip and would have been offended if I didn't go with them. I had told my boss that I was going to be busy before I started working there, but I don't think he realized just how busy.

After all of this, my parents are pressuring me to quit in July, since they are both on vacation for most of the summer (one works for the school board and the other has a lot of vacation time). They are planning on spending half the summer visiting my grandparents and aunt/uncle that live 5 hours away (it's permitted with the current restrictions we have here). So if I don't quit, I won't be able to go with them and my family will be pretty upset with me.

Frankly, I don't even need this job. I've made quite a bit of money from previous well-paying jobs and got scholarships that have paid for a lot of my schooling. The only reason that I started working there was because I was bored and needed to get out of the house. If I give them my two weeks notice, then I will have a few weeks to spend quality time with my family and prepare for my internship (September will be my first time living in an apartment by myself). However, I feel like my co-workers have started to rely on me, because I am by far their best employee. I probably do at least double the amount of work that the other students do in less time, and I'm also given additional responsibilities because I have more experience. If I hadn't started working for them, they probably would have had to put in extra hours to get work done and be closed to customers on certain days. I originally told my employer that I would be available until my internship in september.

My question is, should I feel bad for quitting my job if I give my boss two weeks notice?
