Just like almost everyone at this point in the year, I am beyond excited for summer to finally end and fall to begin. Summer is the worst. I'm going to break it down for you, so you too will hate summer and revel in the fact that fall is fast approaching.
1. The heat
Who actually likes the heat? I'm sure there are some people out there who have their reasons. I personally despise the heat, it creates so many extra problems that go beyond just sweating. It's hard to do any outside activity when it's 97 degreeswith 89% humidity. Want to go to a park? for a walk? To the zoo? Six Flags? too bad it's 100 degrees and all your friends don't want to sweat their skin off just for a little bit of mediocre fun.
2. The humidityÂ
If you live somewhere with a dry heat, be thankful. This midwest humidity is hell. It's hard to breathe, it's hard to move, it's not something you want to deal with. The humidity is the devil's creation, and it's man's punishment. 80° or 90° is not that bad, but when there's high humidity it makes it so much worst. Humidity makes every outdoor activity significantly less worth it.
3. Hot leather seats
Cars in the summer become ovens that burn and melt everything that enters them. The worst part is when your car has leather seats and you wear shorts. Most guys don't know the pain because they're lucky enough to have longer shorts. Then, when you go to get out of the car your legs become glued to the seats from a mixture of the heat and sweat. Your only option is to rip them off and risk your sensitive thigh skin once again to the dangers of summer. In the summer, towels and seat covers become the most important car accessory to protect your legs from pain.
4. Short shorts
Girls' clothing is trash. First off, everything is tiny and way too short. My girls out there with big thighs who suffer from the infamous chub rub know the true struggle. Nothing ruins your day like the burning rash created by your thighs rubbing together. Our shorts are so tiny there is no room for a suitable project forcing girls to use bags and purses. In the colder months, we can throw our items in jacket pockets and not have to worry about it.
5. The sweat
Two words: swamp ass. I don't know about you, but the heat is my enemy and sweating is the worst. I don't want to be sweating my life away just walking across campus. I'll sweat if I'm working out, but I will not sweat against my will. Butt sweat, boob sweat, back sweat, every type of sweat is terrible and it's what makes summer the worst. Those of us that have the misfortune to sweat more than average understanding. All the sweat means more showering and more water wasted.
6. The pressure to "do something"
In the summer there is this huge pressure to do something, work a lot, make memories, or go on adventures. I worked hard all year at school and work, during summer I just want to relax before the crippling stress of college returns. There are plenty of people out there who just want to sit and chill. Those are my kind of people. Sure, going on vacations and spontaneous adventures is awesome and fun; but most days, introverts just want to relax, preferably in the air conditioning.
7. The bugs
Bugs are the spawn of Satan. They are necessary and help the world function, but they suck. Mosquitoes, wasps, ticks, cicadas and so many more are one of the main reasons I can't wait for cooler weather. Do I need to say anymore?
8. Summer allergiesÂ
When you get sick in the summer, it is so much worse All you want to do is lay in bed all cuddled up; but no! It's so hot thatyou're sweating all your liquids out faster than you can drink to replace them. The symptoms come in all forms and aren't limited to the traditional ones seen in the spring.
9. Sunburns
Having to slather lotion on before I even step out of the house is annoying and tedious. If you forget, you either have to dodge the sun and hide in the shade all day or suffer though a week or two of pain. Never forget your sunscreen. Protect your skin and your health. Don't be lazy, you'll regret it when those blisters show up and you can't even put a shirt on.
10. The smells
The entire world smells worse in summer. The heat makes everything smell so much worse. You know the smell, the way the cities smell of a mix of garbage juice, feces and body odor all cooking together under the sun. It's enough to make any grown adult wish for cooler weather.
