Call Me Crazy But I Don't Like Summer

It's the most miserable time of year.

Call Me Crazy But I Don't Like Summer

Well, here it is, summer yet again and I'm already counting down the days until fall.

First off, I'm insanely pale. And yes, I know that going in the sun helps that, but my two shades are ghostly white and lobster red, there's really no hope for me. Being in my twenties, most of my friends love throwing on a bathing suit and baking in the sun for what feels like a thousand years, but it's usually a big no from me.

Secondly, I hate sweating for literally no reason at all. Sweating is okay if I'm working out or doing something that actually requires sweating, but walking to my car and breaking out in a sweat from that is miserable. But what makes it worse is that my friends enjoy just laying there, on the hot beach, sweating while just sitting still. And maybe it's because they actually get tan, and like mentioned before, I'm pretty pasty, and baking myself is not my favorite pass time.

And I'll admit that it's pretty weird being the only girl out of my friends who really dislikes summertime.

Now don't get me wrong, I don't absolutely hate summer, but it is definitely not my favorite season. As a pasty girl, my red tinted hair also gets very frizzy with the humidity, and I walk around looking like a troll doll. So on top of the heat and humidity, it also isn't a huge time for my confidence level. I'm just more of a fall or spring sort of person. I like cool weather where I can be comfortable and wear whatever without having to break a sweat every time I take my dog outside.

So have fun in your warm, sauna weather, and I'll be here preparing for Halloween, waiting for fall to begin.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
