6 Reasons Why I Dislike Summer Vacation

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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
