Summer is finally here which means no more school and an endless amount of free time, well unless you have a summer job. Even with a summer job, you'll have precious days off or nights off that you're not going to want to waste. Sometimes its hard for us to think of what to do, and we may just end up inside binge watching Netflix. Don't get me wrong, on rainy days, that's certainly what I'll be doing, but when it's beautiful out, you'll find me somewhere outside.
