Living in a northern state of America, nothing else excites me more than the summer. Winter is such a drag and it feels like it will never come to an end. The harsh, bitter weather that the winters here provide, makes me appreciate summer more and more every single time that it comes around - Here are 5 reasons why I LOVE summer:
1. The Weather
To me, there is no greater feeling than when the sun's rays beat down on my skin. It relaxes is me and automatically puts a smile on my face. Nice weather also gives me an excuse to go outdoors, put all of my technology aside, and free my mind into the clean air.
2. Fishing
One of my absolute favorite things to do is load up the boat and take it out on the water. Having a fishing rod in my hands will immediately relieve any stress that I have and take my mind off everything that is bothering me - not to mention the initial adrenaline rush that you get when you feel a fish take your bait/lure, is one of the most exciting feelings that I have ever, and will continue to get.
3. Bonfires
Whenever there is a clear sky at night and the weather is dry, the first thing that comes to my mind is a fire. I love sitting around a fire, listening and singing along to great music with my friends. I enjoy the nature around me and really enjoy gazing at the stars.
4. Swimming
The only time that I enjoy feeling water upon my skin when outside, is when I'm swimming. Feeling my body cut through water, whether I'm in a swimming pool or in the ocean at a beach, is so satisfying. It's relieving to my skin and makes my body feel incredible when I get out.
5. The Scenery
Through all the sweet pandemonium that's going on in this world, the scenery of summer can surely bring happiness to my mentality - the flowers, the sunset, and the bright blue sky are just some examples of the very many eye-catching sights that I can never seem to steer my attention away from
I could go on and on about the things that I love that summer brings. I always look forward to this time of year every year. I hope to move south one day so I can enjoy all of these attributes almost all year!
