I’m Over Summer, And I’m Not Afraid To Say It

I am 100% over summer and August isn't even here yet.

Remember in December when we were all snowed in and our toes were frozen no matter how many socks and blankets we wore? Those were the days we promised we'd never complain about the heat ever again because this weather was just too cold.

I do thoroughly enjoy winter because our bodies need a break from the months of sun and sweat, and summer makes us appreciate winter, just as winter does the same for summer. It's like we're stuck in this love triangle of loving summer and loving winter but also hating both simultaneously.

But I'll say it. I am 100% over summer and August isn't even here yet.

We just broke from a heatwave, with days in the upper 90's to 100. Man, it was grueling if I might add. Never in my life have I been so uncomfortable. I couldn't even get into my car without breaking into a massive sweat. My house constantly felt like a sauna and I had headaches for days from lack of hydration.

I am thankful every day that I don't live in a hotter state.

But the sun and heat are only half the problem; let's talk about the humidity.

Walking outside felt like you just walked into a bowl of creamy tomato bisque. Then, if you're a runner or cyclist, doing your workouts outside was just agonizing. If there's an athlete out there that genuinely loves to work out in 100% humidity, I'd be flabbergasted.

Now, with that being said, there are only 60 days until fall. 60 days until crispy mornings and chilly nights next to a fire. Just 60 days. We can do it guys.

I always found it so intriguing that we can so easily become so sick of something, just completely exhausted by the thought of it. That's exactly how I feel about summer. I'm exhausted buying the thought of eight more weeks of excruciating heat. I need fall nights, football games, cozy sweaters, and pumpkin lattes.

The heat makes us crazy and irrational, and we'd do anything for ice-cold water or to stay cool, like contemplating shaving our heads. None of us want that.

Let the countdown begin.

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.

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.
