We get those few days of warmth in March, and suddenly remember how great it feels to have the sun soaking into our faces. Its the home stretch for classes and daydreaming of summer days begin. Here are 10 reasons we are craving summer, in all of its beauty.
1. Lack of responsibilities
It's like music to my ears. Summer means little to no school work. It means finding that great book to read on the beach.
2. Warm days have blessed us
We have been teased with the few warm days that spring has to offer us and the need for that summer sun is real.
3. Sick and tired of the cold
There is no better feeling than leaving the house in a bathing suit, sundress, and flip flops. Having to put on a gazillion layers to leave the house is getting old.
4. PALE.
The worst effect that winter throws at us. Being tan is one of the summer's many attributes. There is also no better feeling than taking a shower after the beach and admiring those tan lines.
5. Friends from home
Julia Grimaldi
It has been a long school year. We only see our lifetime friends over breaks and sporadic trips to each other's colleges. It's about time we get together with friends from home to blast music in the car and belt at the top of our lungs with the windows down.
6. Being home
As wonderful as college life is, it is always the best feeling to go back to the place you grew up and adore.
7. The beach

If you are lucky enough to live close to a beach, spending the entire day in the ocean is something much needed while we drown in dreaded school projects and exams.
8. BBQ's & Bonfires

Nothing compares to those family & friend BBQ's with hotdogs, macaroni salad, and lemonade. Then to end the night with a bonfire in your favorite sweatshirt, listening to Springsteen.
9. Sunlight until 8 PM
It is exhausting when the sun is setting at 5 PM. Now that the sun has graced us with a couple more hours of sunlight, moods have been lifted!
10. Summer concerts

All I can say is... Stone Pony Summer Stage. If you live within driving distance to Asbury Park, take the trek. It is worth it!
Buckle in. We only have a little over a month left of classes and then we are FREE!!
