11 Reasons Why Summer Is The Best Season
Stocksnap

1. It's warm enough to do everything you can't do in the winter

Sure, winter can have its perks, but there is only so much you can do with its below freezing with inches of snow on the ground.

2. The fruit

Between both spring and summer, so many of our favorite fruits become in season. It is the prime time of the year for strawberries, pineapple, and so much more.

3. Higher UV Index

I think we can all agree that we are our best self when we are tan.

4. Clothes

Summer clothes are more fun with vibrant colors and most importantly, less layers.

5. Less school

For many college students, the work never stops. However for most students taking classes year-round, there is definitely a lighter course load in the summer.

6. Music

Not only are the warmer months undoubtedly the best time of the year for music, they are also the perfect time for outdoor concerts.

7. Traveling

Most likely, the summer months will allow you some extra time to travel with family or friends.

8. More daylight

Compared to the winter months when the sun sets early in the day, the sun will set much later in the summer which allows us more time to enjoy the perfect weather outside.

9. Ice cream

All of the seasonal ice cream shops start to open, and who doesn't love ice cream??

10. Instagram opportunities

This one is a little basic, but oh so true. You can't deny the endless opportunities to catch the perfect picture - whether its at the beach, pool, concert, you name it!

11. Fresh air

In the winter it is sometimes hard to get fresh air when going outside makes your eyes water. Summer weather is the best weather to hang out outside, or even just crack a window open to let a nice breeze in.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
