What does summer mean to teens?

It doesn’t matter that I had planned exactly two things to do (eat and sleep), I still looked forward to three months of possibilities.
Every summer is different. You finish each school year with a new version of yourself. Over the past number of years, the summer holidays have come to mean something different to both me and my friends. We are no longer content merely lazing in front of the TV for weeks on end; instead, we opt to take part in summer camps, travel abroad, meet up with friends, and even attempt to get jobs.
