I Am So Ready For Summer

Summer me is the best me.

Everybody has their favorite season of the year. Lots of people love fall for the colorful leaves falling on the ground and pumpkin spice. Others love the flowers in spring and making cold snowmen in winter. For me, however, I love summer the most because of the freedom the warm weather and time away from school gives me.

I know most people are not the biggest fans of the summer heat, but hear me out. I love swimming and splashing around in the pool on a day that almost feels scorching outside since I can cool off easily. The warmer weather motivates me to get out and about whereas the freezing wintertime weather withers away my desire to go out entirely. I know the weather has not been as warm overall for the past few summers, but I have a feeling this summer will be warm enough for me.

My favorite part of summer is the freedom of how I choose to spend my time. In summer, school is not restricting my free time. I have more time to exercise at the gym which makes me feel better physically and mentally. I also have time to write and catch up on and/or rewatch my favorite TV shows with my momma. Overall, summertime helps me clear out my thoughts and reflect on the events and people that have shaped my life over the past school year.

Summer has a way of brightening up my mood, and I am ready to get back home and relax for a bit. Having time to relax with my family and friends is what motivates me to power through the rest of my freshman semester at Longwood University. Summer has given me a wonderful feeling of freedom since I was a kid, and I carry the same admiration for the warm season today.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
