8 Things I Absolutely Hate About Summer

The birds are chirping, children are laughing, and heatwaves are hitting you left and right. Summer has arrived and as much as I anticipated it there are still a few things I hate about it.

1. Chairs, not just one chair, all kinds of chairs.

Let's be real, sitting on a chair in the summer is hell, like literal hell. It feels like you are sitting on Satan's throne. I do not know what is worse, a leather chair or a metal chair? They're both painful to sit on and when you stand up you can feel your thighs being ripped apart and melted away. I'm not being dramatic here either, it kind of feels worse than that to be honest.

2. Having a melted face

If you want to rock that smoky eyeshadow then just stand in the sun for five minutes. Endless time spent on that perfect makeup look and you feel like your face is melting away, everything just dripping away.

3. Having to shave … like everyday

Giphy

Five minutes you step out the shower you can feel the hair growing back and you're just in confusion. Those who are like me and love to have smooth legs are always struggling in the summer. There are other alternatives such as waxing (unless you have sensitive skin) or laser hair removal (which can be costly), but sometimes all you have is shaving and it's a pain but not as much as the hot chairs.

4. Cute bathing suits with not so cute tan lines

Giphy

Strappy bathing suits are super cute, but the tan lines you get? Not super cute. You really can't win here, either a simple bikini with a nice tan or a cute bikini and a mess of a tan line.

5. Literally. Nothing. To. Wear.

Giphy

It's illegal to be nude but anything you put on just makes you too hot. Unless there's a portable AC you can wear to stay cool the whole time, everything just makes you hot and sticky. A tank top and shorts seems to be your only outfit so all those cute summer outfits you had planned just stay hanging in your closet.

6. One hairstyle for life

Giphy

Every time you try to have your hair down and looking cute it just becomes a whole poofy mess. Your only solution is a ponytail or a bun and that seems to be the only look you'll be rocking the whole summer.

7. Mosquito infested legs

Giphy

It's too hot to wear pants but too dangerous to wear shorts. Maybe it's just my bad luck but it doesn't matter how much bug spray I use, they just love attacking my legs.

8. Cute summer plans are a fail

Giphy

All those girls night plans you had are just a mess like your makeup that's dripping and hair that's poufy. Everyone's working and usually it's different hours so it's hard for everyone to coordinate when to go out. The summer 2k18 dream is just another one melted away.

So yeah I hate the summer because of this but I still prefer having sticky thighs and a melting face over the harsh, cold winter any day.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
