The Butterflies Of Summer End

Summer is not over, only close.

The Butterflies Of Summer End
Joseph M Foster

This is the specific time of a very special episode within a year, when an awkward feeling of change occurs; the beloved bitter end of summer. The timely holidays have come and gone. Placing us in the mind state to fully embrace the final weeks of this season, one that is recognized to be idolized for the majority days of the others.

The beloved summer isn’t quiet over, but close. The sun is still shinning, bright and hot high in the sky, but this is not to last long. A great portion of this chapter has past, and we have finally gotten use to this fantasy way of life: three months absent from some partial aspects of our routine responsibilities that dominate a majority of the year. We can finally be free from the classroom; hassling with snow and freezing weather; debating with yourself on what multilayer outfit to choose; free from the sunsets that seem premature. Life seems easier in the summer. Now that this is almost over, focus begins to shift to what is next and incoming, we have finally mastered the practices to utilize the the current period which we reside.

The final weeks of summer are a time to understand what it means to live as we should— optimally and to the fullest. It's also a time to excited for the shift that is inevitable. It is also a time to be excited for the shift that is inevitable.

Back to school season will soon be upon us. The fuss of football and basketball season will greet us with the simultaneous end of baseball, and all the while a consistent change will be dramatically brewing in the scheme of the weather. Holidays are about to have a much different, more sentimental meaning, a time to be surrounded by loved ones and optimistically look into the future.

The feeling is weird and aggressive; when everything we came to know is suddenly all about to end. This sensation becomes physical as its reality gets closer and the appropriate preparation is then, in turn—mandatory.

Once we comprehend that our feelings are a resistance to change, we begin to feel accustomed to the matter. The buzz of all of this, begins to get exciting — we begin to recognize our bliss. The nerves arise with the end to the comfort of consistency, and with time we become a new person in a new environment. With a few weeks of transition, we will once again be in the loving arms of a habitual season opposite to that of todays, happily doing whatever makes that phase within the year so unique and utterly special.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
