15 Things You Actually WON'T Miss About Summer
Kylene Ronayne

Daylight is getting shorter. The weather is getting colder. Summer is ending and no one is overly thrilled about it. It may be easy to overlook some of the more exciting things to come in the fall and winter, especially when you’re used to basking in the warm, bright sun. However, there are, in fact, many things to look forward to, as well as some things that you may be excited to let go of as summer fades. Here are the things that everyone will NOT miss about the summertime.

1. Sunburn.

Sunburn

The bottles and bottles of aloe you’ve used are no longer needed in the budget. Though the tan lines may fade, your skin will finally be able to breathe.

2. The scalding heat.

Summer Heat

Consistently living in 90-degree weather is just plain exhausting. You will finally be able to walk outside and simply breathe, instead of losing slight consciousness because of the sun’s wrath.

3. Humidity.

Don't worry, the percentage of bad hair days will for sure significantly decrease.

4. Your thighs sticking to the seat & to each other.

Thigh Sweat

No more being humiliated when you stand up because your seat is drenched with butt sweat.

5. All sweat in general.

No more having to be self-conscious about armpit, underboob, or back sweat.

6. Hot cars.

“Oh great, my car says it’s 115 degrees in here, awesome.”

7. The constant smell of sweat and sunscreen.

Smelly

Deodorant and sunscreen no longer have to be reapplied every hour.

8. Having to shave all the time.

Let those leg hairs grow out girl, you’ll be in sweatpants soon enough.

9. Having to be in shape all the time.

Exercise

Stock up on food and earn a little extra layer of insulation to keep yourself warm through the winter. Bikini body no longer needed!

10. Having to shower all the time.

Committing to going outside in the summertime really means you’re committing to showering later too.

11. Being bored.

If you’re back at school, you will no longer have to worry about making plans when you’re bored. There will always be something to do to keep you busy.

12. Random downpours.

Getting caught in spontaneous thunderstorms without proper attire or an umbrella might be one of summer’s least attractive qualities.

13. Dehydration.

Now that you won’t be spending as much time in the scorching sun, your body will be able to rehydrate itself.

14. The terrible support of your flip-flops.

Let’s face it, we’ve all outgrown the $1 Old Navy flip flop sale. By the end of the summer, you might as well stick pieces of paper under your feet and call them shoes.

15. Mosquitoes.

“No mom, the mosquitoes don’t bite me because I’m ‘sweet,’ they do it because the Devil himself told them to.”

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
