The only thing that makes summer worth its while is the summer break. You finally get all the time in the world to do all of the activities that you had been planning to do but couldn’t, ’cause the damn studies would just keep getting in the way. You can finally take up the gym or learn a new language or work on hone your talents. But, let’s face it, you’ll all probably end up eating garbage food in your PJs while you binge-watch shows like the useless lump of a person that you are. It’s okay. Been there. Done that. Here is a list shows available on Netflix right now that you can catch up on during summer:
