Dear Summer,
I never knew I would feel this way about you. I was always your number one fan. I used you as something to look forward to during my long days of classes and I would cry when you were over. I lived for you. However, here I am, counting down the days until you are over.

Now please, don’t take this personal. You are responsible for some of my greatest memories, and without you, I would probably go insane. Because of you, I have gone on amazing vacations, stayed up all night, and slept in more days than I could count, and I don’t know how to thank you for that.
However, I think we have grown so close that I don’t rely on you anymore. You are not my sole purpose, and I think that is a great thing. I am now finding the joy I found in you, elsewhere, at school.
As I am sitting with you now, I am thankful. Thankful for the times we have had, and even thankful for the memories you are still giving me. I have really been enjoying you, and the tan you have been helping me get these past few months.
I have also enjoyed the time I’ve spent with my family, pet, and summer job. I will never stop loving you, I can promise you that much. You are amazing, and you always will be. It’s just, you are not the only amazing thing out there for me anymore.
I have made amazing friends at school who I miss dearly, and I have grown so fond of my classes and sport that I am involved in back at school.
As I move on, I just want to let you know that you modeled happiness for me. In my youth, if someone asked me to summarize happiness in one word, I would say “summer.” So I want to thank you for teaching me that, and thank you for helping me find sunshine and “summer” in every month of the year.
Much Love,
A Sun Kissed (and thankful) College Student
