Summertime is a great time. It's arguably the greatest time of year. No more classes, less stress, more sunshine, more opportunities...three months of endless possibility. Napoleon Dynamite and his friends/family know that.
1. That beautiful moment when you finish your last final and it is officially summer
And it's time to roll out.
2. When people ask you what you are planning to do this summer
Because we are free human beings with three months of school-less bliss.
3. And some of those plans include being on the computer all day
Without school, you have time to enjoy the internet without feeling guilty about it.
4. But eventually some of your friends convince you to actually experience the world
Even if it's not the best idea.
5. When you see someone's insane "swimsuit bod"
To quote Macklemore: "Ima go to the beach but I'm not taking my shirt off in public."
6. When you decide to get all "artsy" and try to take photos with your friends
Summer is probably the best time to go out and do some impromptu photo shoots.
7. When your parents make you do chores, even though it's summer
"Mom, I can't go out and feed the llama...I just got out of a stressful school year. It's too much."
8. There's always that intense game of groundies
Or hide and seek, or sardines, or even tag if you're feeling up to it. You're never too old for outdoor games.
9. Of course, there's always the intense heat of the summer that you don't necessarily get during the school year
Gotta stay hydrated.
10. If you're lucky, you get more chances to pick people up from the airport
Pro Tip: Signs are always appreciated.
11. When you complain to your parents about the lack of food in the house in the hopes that they will go to the grocery store
If you're coming back from college, summer should be the time that you don't have to pay for your own food.
12. But you are then forced to take matters into your own hands
Fishing is a summer activity right?
13. Then the disillusionment of the freedom of summer hits
Responsibilities that you have tried desperately to avoid start to pile up.
14. And you realize that you actually need money
...and sometimes you have to be creative. I hear Michael's has some great crafting supplies.
But even then, we love you, Summer.*
