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.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
