11 Things You Won't Miss About Summer

Summer is great and all, but I'm ready for it to be over.

So, for some of us summer is almost over! I return to school in less than a month, and I am kind of freaking out. The end of summer always brings mixed emotions, but here are some things I won't miss.

1. Sweat. So much sweat.

When you live in Texas, you sweat within five minutes of being outside. I can't wait for the fall because I won't die every time I walk outside.

2. Mosquitoes.

They are everywhere! I was enjoying some peace and quiet time in my backyard, and I got bit at least six times by mosquitoes. I will not miss those pesky insects when the fall comes around.

3. You won't be bored all the time.

Summer is great! You have no schedule and can do all sorts of fun things. Well, nine out of 10 times I have nothing to do, so I just sit on my butt all day or sleep.

4. It won't be hot anymore.

It's just so hot outside all the time. When fall and winter roll around I won't miss the heat.

5. Sunburns.

Laying out all day by the pool is super relaxing, but sunburns are real and they hurt. If you've spent more than two hours in the sun you know the agony of a sunburn.

6. Not being able to make plans outside.

I mean, you can, but you will be sweating the whole time. I miss being able to take hikes, hammock, and enjoy outdoor activities without the heat.

7. The random downpours.

When it's summer, I rarely think about rain. Whenever I am out enjoying the sun, and it randomly starts pouring I am not a fan of that.

8. Having to wear sunblock all the time.

It smells weird, and I hate having to constantly reapply it.

9. The constant humidity.

The humidity makes it so much hotter than it feels. Also humidity does wonders for people with naturally curly hair.

10. The crowds at any type of park.

In the summer it means vacation and getting to go to Six Flags, waterparks, having picnics, going to museums, etc. The lines are ridiculous everywhere you go, and you can never enjoy peace and quiet with crowds.

11. Feeling like you need to constantly take a shower.

Walking from my front door to my car, I sweat. We all have that constant feeling of needing to take a shower before and after work.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
