Okay, I understand that hate is a strong word and without the sun we would be dead. But honestly, I don't think that it giving us life is a good enough reason to like it. This being said, I feel comfortable sharing that I hate the sun, and no, I'm not joking. When most people hear me say that I hate the sun, they are confused. The most common reaction I hear is, "Wait what, but you're from California?" This is a valid question because, yes, I am from California. But as I often tell my mom, California is way too hot and that is why I go to school in chilly and overcast Oregon (the perfect weather state). Regardless of how many people try, no one has been able to convince me to be on "Team Sun" and that's because with a full heart, I can say that I am okay with the sun and I never getting along. Nonetheless, the following are the 11 top reasons I can give for why I hate the sun.

1. It's hot.

The sun is 5780 Kelvin aka 9900 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. It kills polar bears.

Look how cute! No more ice for them though...

3. It makes your skin cry.

When water comes out of your skin because you're hot after being in the sun, it's not sweat. It's your body crying because it too hates the sun.

4. It makes you smell bad.

That rotten smell you just whiffed outside? Sweat. What is sweat caused by? The sun ... gross.

5. It contributes to cancer.

Sun=burn=cancer=bad! Therefore, sun=bad!

6. Sunscreen is expensive.

I recently bought a can of sunscreen for $15. That's money spent on protection instead of food. Thanks, sun.

7. It makes you sticky.

Sweat and humidity are caused by the sun, these things make you sticky, gross.

8. You get ugly tan lines.

No one wants to look like a zebra ... but the sun thinks otherwise.

9. You get burned and peel.

Yuck, yuck, yuck ... oranges should peel, people shouldn't.

10. It restricts California from having water.

The sun is drying out the homeland and therefore forcing me to take short showers. No likey.

11. Air conditioning is expensive.

Cold air isn't cheap, my friends, and money is nice. So the sun=hot=high; ac=no money=bad.
