Why I Hate Summer

Summer Is The Worst Season

June, July, and August, these three are my least favorite months.


Summer does have a few good things going for it. Late nights, beach trips, schools out, firework shows, and bonfires.

The things that clearly suck about summer include the heat, the bugs, and the clothes.

Let's start with the heat. The heat sucks! No woman enjoys sweating like a pig. Many women struggle, like I do, with the heat. I get very warm, I get nauseous and dizzy. Plus, do not even get me started on the sweat! Seriously I sweat so freaking much, it's disgusting.
Sleeping is a nightmare. (No pun intended) I end up sleeping on top of my covers
with basically no clothes on because it is just way to hot! It's not sexy, it's actually miserable and gross.

Next the bugs, JUNE BUGS ARE DEVIL INCARNATES! They are ugly and annoying! Plus, if you try to kill them, they crunch! VERY LOUDLY!! No one wants to turn off all the lights around their house just to stop from attracting bugs. I really hate trying to come in the back door and bringing 16 new hitchhikers with me. Not to mention, the mosquitos! I do not know about you but I do not appreciate being one big inflamed red bump. Plus, many people are allergic to these bites which can make them so much worse. Some people itch them so much that they bleed, then you become just one big open wound.

And then, we have the clothes. Unlike the winter, you can't just throw on another layer of you get cold. In the summer, you can't keep taking off more layers. Unfortunately, you can not just peel off your skin if you get too hot. If like me, your thighs are not the smallest, you have to deal with the dreaded chub rub. Chub rub is when your chubby thighs rub together and create friction. This in turn, causes irritation and sometimes inflammation. They do make special creams and lotions for the issue but due to the heat, they evaporate and you are just forced to continually reapply. Trust me, I am body positive but summer is made for women with no fat on their body. More fat equals more sweat and more skin irritations. Crop tops and short shorts are the uniform of the season. There is no extra fabric to hide the parts of your body that you are not too keen on.

Now if you ask me and since you are reading this, I assume you would. Summer is the worse season! The hierarchy of seasons is Autumn, Winter, Spring, all the sweat that collects on my body in the heat, and then finally, Summer.

In conclusion, summer has its upsides but about 75% of the season really sucks and I am counting down the days until it has finally ended. All I want is my crisp air and apple cider. That's right Autumn, I can not wait for you, my long lost friend.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
