Some of us are soaking up every last drop minute of our summer by taking advantage of the beach, the sun, and everything that comes along with it. Others of us are counting down the minutes until summer is over, walking outside daily into the heat and saying how much we hate this season. If you're a fall or winter baby, you probably know these things to be true.
1. There is no such thing as summer colors.

Everyone loves to make sure you know you seem crazy for being in all dark colors all the time, but you just love autumn and winter colors so much that the idea of bright, summer tones doesn't exist to you. Even when you buy shorts or t-shirts, they're probably black or close to it. Hey, at least those summer clothes you can layer and fit the color scheme of the colder seasons, right?
2. You never know what to wear.

Most of your wardrobe consists of pants, sweaters, and long sleeves so finding an outfit during the hot months is hard. Honestly, you try to wear your long sleeves and pant, really debating if you can survive 90 degree weather in it. An exciting outfit idea has popped into your head daily, only to realize that it isn't suitable for the heat.
3. Air Conditioning is a must.

Since you walk outside and probably complain within seconds about how warm it is, you crank the AC whenever possibly. The sweet relief of air conditioning when you walk into a building after being outside is heaven while walking into a hot building makes you cry a little inside. Your electric bill is cringe-worthy for a few months a year, but you feel like you're living in hell without it.
4. Baseball isn't your favorite sport.
Baseball games are fun and you enjoy them in their own right, but they'll never compare to one of your favorites. If you go, you definitely prefer night games when the sun isn't beating on your.
Football, basketball, or hockey is probably your favorite, plus, they're way more exciting and fast paced anyways.
5. Summer insects are your worst enemy.
From misquotes biting at every inch of your body every night to bees giving you a small panic attack after they fly by. You don't want to say you wish they didn't exist, but you definitely prefer the seasons when they're not around you. Pretty much all bugs multiply during the summer and you are not a fan.
6. You Don't Know Why You Try To Look Good
The second you walk outside you're either sweating off your makeup unless you spend a ton of money to get makeup to survive the heat. Your hair is just a mess. Want to try anything other than a ponytail? Good luck, because you're going to put it up within minutes or it's going to get sweaty and/or frizzy. You usually just start to get super lazy about trying to look good and accept looking like a (literal) hot mess.
The first sign summer is coming to a close is always the Target and Walmart aisles filling with school supplies. To some, saying "I can't wait for summer to be over" is completely insane. The idea of leaving the relaxation of summer is still a little sad because it probably is less chaotic than the school year, but that's okay. The idea of getting back into school routines isn't too bad though because the calling of sweater weather and your favorite end of the year festivities outweighs any bad.
