With only a couple days left in the school year, everyone is beginning to make plans to stay in touch over the span of the next two months. But even with the help of friends, keeping yourselves occupied when you don’t have many responsibilities (such as school) getting in your way is a hard task. Sometimes, it’s hard to come up with ideas of what to do, so here is a list of fun, easy things to do over the summer to make sure you don’t waste it.
