I Wish It Were Autumn

Everyone loves summer but not me. I think summer is probably my least favorite time of year.

Does anyone want to know why? I'll tell you why in this list…


1. No Watching Movies

Having friends on the internet makes it very difficult to go see a new movie. I make a lot of jokes about having more friends online than I do in real life, but it's true. The problem is, I'm very awkward and can't make friends easily in real life because I'm shy, so I don't have anyone to go to the movies with. This makes going to see Summer Blockbusters incredibly difficult as well as unfulfilling.



2. Summer is Loud

Yes,—summer is loud! I'd like a quiet home in the country, but since I don't have that ability at this moment, I have a home with my parents. I love my parents, but they've chosen to live right smack dab in the middle of town, and there's always something going on. It's so loud and hard to get work done or focus on a new book, even the one that I'm currently writing. Please, someone, buy me some ear muffs! Preferably earmuffs which come in gray or black—thank you!



3. Hot Weather

Summer is the worst time to be a bookworm. There's nothing I like more than curling up with a good book on a nice quiet rainy day. But summer afternoons are hot and very noisy, so going on the porch with a nice book and a cup of tea isn't nearly as fulfilling as it has the potential to be!



4. Crowds

Another reason why I hate summer is because there are crowds everywhere! I have some degree of social anxiety, and it's difficult to be around a lot of people at once—especially when they're in very close proximity to me. This always happens in summer. There's never a place you can go where you can just have a minute to yourself or even space to breathe. I know it's only May, but can it please be September, like, tomorrow? Because then afternoons would be quiet and cool enough to sit outside and read a book.



5. Fireworks are the Worst

Fireworks are a terrible idea. Whoever decided to make things explode in midair and cause disruption to small animals like my dog, or even to people who are sensitive to loud noises in any form, is a jerk. They can spend their night comforting my dog so that I can get some sleep—thank you! And, has it occurred to anyone that this is polluting our air? This is polluting our air that we have to breathe in America. Can we celebrate the 4th of July any other way that makes a little more sense? Please!




6. People Messing with Wild Animals

Summer is a time when wild animals come out of hibernation. I live in the Northeast, so I don't have to worry about snakes that are big enough to kill and subsequently devour a deer, or even spiders the size of frisbees. And, I'm very thankful for that. I'm not sure if I'll ever leave this part of the country because of that. I have no issue with snakes and spiders being as they're naturally intended, however, I do have an issue with people harassing them. People are encroaching upon their homes, and they suffer because they're encroaching upon their homes. Leave the wild animals alone. Don't get mad at them if they react naturally to what they perceive as a foreign presence.



7. I Scream for Ice Cream

I really miss the ice cream truck of my youth. I love ice cream, but the truck never comes by anymore. This totally sucks. If you can't leave your house, you can't get any ice cream—that's sad!



8. Weird Sand Phobia

I feel like I'm the only person in the world that hates sand, but I know I can't be. My disability causes sensory issues, and that means I can't stand the sensation of sand touching my skin. That's really my only hang up, but that's weird. I hate the beach, and I feel so left out because everyone loves the beach. Everyone is going there and playing this, and I'm just like: yuck, get away from me.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
