Is summer really fun?

The end of the school year is coming up for many schools, everyone is so excited. There are so many thing we can do this summer. Everyone is waiting for the minute the bell rings and summer begins. But why do people await summer so eagerly? Honestly summer ends up being a bummer most of the time, there's never anything to do. All you can really do is go out with your friends to the mall or something but you do that during the school year anyway. What makes Summer so much fun?
