For every student across the country, summer vacation is the best time of the year. With no school and more free time, summer is everything a college student can hope for. There are many students who love summer vacation, but there are some students who don't necessarily feel the same way. One of those students is me. Don't get me wrong, summer is a great time for students to spend some quality time with their friends and family, as well as have fun in the sun. I sure as hell can use a few months to relax and come back to school with energy, but summer and I have a 'hot and cold' relationship. I don't hate summer, but I simply dislike it. Here are my reasons:
1. The Heat
I can honestly say I'd rather freeze in the middle of winter than boil in the middle of summer. The heat is so unbearable that I am actually considering about moving to Alaska. I am not a fan of summer heat, and the summer's heat is not a fan of me!
2. Summer gets boring after a while.
Since we are all out of school our schedules are filled with free time. Free time is good if you have plans 24/7, but after a while it gets a little boring because there is no routine. I have been wanting to go back after one month of summer –– not even!
3. There's more to do in fall than there is in summer.
Going to faster horses is fun and all, but there is more activities to do in fall than there is in summer, especially in Michigan. You can go to the cider mill, the pumpkin patch, haunted houses or downtown. I bet summer can't top that!
4. There's no holiday movie for summer.
There's no holiday movie in summer because there are more holiday's in the fall and winter! I mean who doesn't love holiday movies like "The Nightmare Before Christmas" or "Frosty the Snowman!" I sure as hell do! I know that summer does contain one holiday, which would be the Fourth of July, but I highly doubt that Tim Burton made a children's movie about celebrating America's Independence. Summer is no match to fall and winter when it comes to the classics.
5. There are more fashion trends in the fall than there is for summer.
If there is one thing I live for is something that I have always loved since I was a little girl it's fashion! When you compare summer to fall, summer loses the race when it comes to the latest trends. The hot and steamy season comes with maybe two or three trends, but in fall the list never ends. Honestly, who can resist blanket scarves and booties? Not me!
6. After not even two months of summer, I miss school and want to go back.
After months of boredom and no regular routine, my only wish is to go back to school! Oakland University became my home away from home and I am excited to go back with the energy to help me kick semester booty! I think that is the one thing I am grateful for summer. Summer vacation gives all of us a chance to relax and regain our motivation, which we lost from a year of non-stop exams and final projects. Now that I have had all the time I needed to recharge, I am ready to go back to school and continue my journey to graduation!
