Summer vacation is here! Let me guess…. you have an entire list of things to do this summer. But let me guess again… chances are that you’re only going to complete less than 50% of what’s on your list. Don’t worry, it happens to me every single year. I like to call it “Sumcrastination”. Chances are that you have, or know of someone with a Netflix account, so this is an article that hopefully everyone can find useful. I’ve complied a list of movies and TV Series that you need to watch during your summer vacation this year, because we all know that you’re not going to do everything you plan on doing.
