5 Things Not To Look Forward To This Summer

I am sorry, but dad bods were never in.

Summertime is really around the corner!!! And it is time for cookouts, happy times and hanging with friends!!! There is no time like the present, and these are the "signs of the times," in my Harry Styles voice. But they are also things that I am not looking forward to this summer, that surely be present.

1. The weather

The weather is setting up to be brutal. I walked outside today for only 5 minutes and heat and humidity just hit my face. You have to squint your eyes like an elderly person as you make your way to your car, or gathering. The sun is unforgiven and we have to bare it. But I would not want it any other way. I would rather it be 105 degrees with the blazing sun, sweating bullets, than to be 28 degrees and be shivering to death.

2. The sweat

The sweat will be a constant this summer and every summer as you all live your lives. People will come outside for 10 minutes and come back drenched in their pool of bodily fluids. Their shirt will stick to them harder than politicians being on board for Trump!! But at least eventually we can let go of this stickiness. If we can all eat a healthier diet, then we can possibly suppress how often our body reacts to humid areas!!! But even eating gluten-free may not be able to stop the hotness!!!

3. The insects

When the seasons change, so does the animals and insects. As the weather gets hotter, the flies and wasps will come out to play. Whether they are nets trying to ruin your cookout or a bumblebee trying to enter your house, there will be some type of creature waiting just to ruin your vibe. Bug spray will be a constant need to keep those pests away temporarily, but they can be a mockery.

4. The Dad Bod

I am sorry, but Dad Bods were never in. Hate to break it to you guys, but dad bods are not the rage. Whomever made dad bods ok, you are ruining the American public, and should be ashamed of yourself. No one will want to see a beer belly or a shirt that will not fit over your stomach, when we are out in public. If you guys have not shaved, it is going to be a nasty site to see. And it really is a changing of the guard for women, if they think six pack abs are not just a thing of beauty. I think they would prefer a six pack miller lite than a six-pack boy. So according to them, it is not worth me going to gym, because I am not going to attract them that way. *shrugs shoulders*

5. The boredom

If you really do not have a job that you can invest in around the clock, not many friends, or just plainly do not have anything going on, then you are going to be bored with your life. Summers are long when your time is idle, and you can become bored. There is no football or basketball. Baseball is there, but it does not exude excitement as the other sports would. But I would hope your summer is steamy like a sauna, or a grill. And I hope it is magical like a Midsummer Night's Dream!!!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
