Everyone loves summer. The sun is out, people get tan and summer is full of fun things to do. As summer approaches, here are some things that might remind you what season is coming up.
1. It gets darker outside later.
You have so much time to be outside or just simply enjoy the daylight. Go for a run, bike ride or play soccer with some friends and soak up the extra sunlight! Before you know it, summer will make it last even longer for catching lightning bugs or just hanging out with friends.
2. Summer fruits and vegetables are coming out for the season.
This means that you can add some fresh produce to your meals. Everyone wants those rockin' summer bodies. The best way to work on that is eating a healthy diet of fresh fruits and veggies! Fruits like blackberries, strawberries and peaches are coming into season that immediately make you think of summer. Cucumbers, carrots and zucchini make summer cookouts so much better. Eat up!
3. Bathing suits are being sold.![]()
You know that summer is just around the corner when the first thing you see at Target is the bathing suits in all different colors and designs. Some may feel nervous to get back into a bikini, and then some may have been working really hard to show off their progress. No matter what, love your body and get ready to celebrate summer with the bathing suit you like most!
4. Swimming pools are getting ready to open.
Similar to my previous point, bathing suits = swimming! Memorial Day weekend is usually when pools begin to open. This means that summer is really close by, and what better way to spend your summer days than outside by the pool?
5. You're out of school for the summer, duh!
Most college students have finished up their finals and are home for the summer already. This is probably the biggest reminder, and as you see the other four things, it will eventually sink in that you don't have to study for tests, do any homework or read any textbooks until the fall. What a great feeling!
