10 Reasons Why Summer Is The Worst Season

Winter and fall are superior.

10 Reasons Why Summer Is The Worst Season

If I had a dollar for every time someone said how much they loved summer, I'd be rich enough to never have to work again. Summer is awful and I can never understand how people love it so much. Sure, it has its perks, but mostly summer is a headache. Here are the reasons why summer is definitely the inferior season:


1. It’s hot

Correction: It’s too hot. It feels like a sauna whenever you walk outside. It’s like we’re all inside a giant frying pain, slowly being roasted by the sun.

2. Bugs

Let’s play a game where we walk outside and try not to get attacked by bugs (hint: no one wins).

3. Weird weather

Besides it being ridiculously hot (see number one), the weather seems to have even more mood swings in the summer. There can be a thunderstorm, gusty winds, random flooding, and then seconds of sunshine all within an hour.

4. Hair Troubles

It’s impossible to be anyone’s #hairgoals in summer because the humidity won’t allow it. You try to make your hair as beautiful as possible in the morning, but once you open that front door into the humid abyss, say goodbye to your good hair day.

5. Leather is everywhere

I only notice this in summer, but I’m pretty sure every restaurant in the U.S. has leather seats. And I guess it’s not the leather that’s really the problem. No, the problem is trying to peel my thighs off leather seats when I wear shorts.

6. I miss my friends

Planning to spend time with your friends during the summer is hard, especially when they live in different places or are working. Texting is fine as a means for staying in touch, but it’s not the same as meeting for dinner or going to the movies, which unfortunately seems harder in summer.

7. The best shows are gone

Some of the best shows on television go on hiatus just at the start of summer. "Game of Thrones," for instance, ended on Sunday (moment of silence for that incredible finale). With all of the good shows being replaced by no shortage of reality shows, I guess I’ll spend my summer watching "American Ninja Warrior" and all of Gordon Ramsey’s shows.

8. There’s no sports

While this isn’t much of a problem every four years because of the Olympics, we’ll be facing this issue again next year. Football season is long away and basketball is over. It sucks.

9. Sunburns

I have never been sunburned before, but I’ve seen enough sunburn on my friends to understand that it’s awful. Just looking at the reddened, peeling skin makes me pity every single person who is sunburned.

10. The Fourth of July

I love this holiday because everyone’s patriotism is at its yearly high. But it seems like every human in the country decides to leave their homes and bundle together in the same park that is far too small in order to see some fireworks. So we’re all a bunch of strangers sitting annoyingly close to one another to watch five minutes' worth of fireworks and spend two hours trying to leave the parking lot.


Summer is filled with great memories and good vibes, but every day I can’t wait until it’s over. When September comes, the struggles will slowly end. For those who suffer through the summer months, just remember:

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.

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.
