Anyway, your summer doesn’t have to be a garbage shoot of nonproductive actives. There are a million things to do this summer that are definitely more productive than staring at a television/laptop screen or complaining about boredom. P.S. I’ve got productive ideas for every season (sort of), here’s Productive Things to do Over Winter Break.
