This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at GCSU chapter.

Whoop there it is! Summer break is so close I can taste it! Now is the time to sit back and relax, and finally breath easy. You may like going to the beach, or taking a trip to another state or country, but my favorite part of summer is the movies that come out! So here is the list of movies premiering this summer! Click on the titles if you want to watch the trailers!

June

I really think this move should have been called “Now You Don’t”, but I guess to those people who didn’t see the first one it wouldn’t make any sense… I’m still excited to see it though!
