Happy summer! My favorite time of the year, where everyone gets a little tanner, a little happier, and the sun shines a little brighter. Here are 10 reasons why summer is the best season!
1. Daily Ice Cream
Not that you need one, but summer is the perfect excuse to eat ice cream for every meal. I’m not sure what it is, but it just tastes so much better during the summertime.
2. The Beach and its Sunsets
Who doesn’t love the beach?! Going to the beach is an experience in itself, but watching the sunset there is a whole other adventure. The colors are more vibrant, and the world seems so peaceful; there’s nothing like it.
3. New Music
Artists are known to release new music in honor of summer. Be on the lookout for new songs from all of your favorite singers!
4. Driving With the Windows Down
Blasting all of that new music in the car with your besties. Windows down and driving along all of the windy back roads.
5. School's Out
Unless you're taking summer classes, you're done with school for the next 4(ish) months! Which also means you will be able to hangout with all of your home friends, who some of you probably haven't seen since before school started.
6. Summer Foods
Watermelon and BBQ’s, need I say more!? Sure you have these year-round, but they are definitely yummier during the summertime.
7. Tan
I don’t know about you, but I automatically feel 100 times better when I’m tan. My skin looks clearer, my outfits look cuter, and I just feel so much more confident.
8. Cute Outfits
Sundresses, jean shorts, and flip-flops galore. Not only are summer outfits cuter, but they’re also so much easier to pick out! Throw on a pair of shorts and a cute top with sandals, and you're ready to go.
9. Vacations
Whether you go near or far, summer is a prime vacation time. It’s the perfect time to encounter new cultures, new sights, and new experiences.
10. Make Money
With all of this time off, summer is the best time to get a job and make up for all of the money you probably spent at school. That way, when summer ends (sad), you can spend all your money at school again!

Summer is the season of spontaneity. Hang out with your friends, travel, and eat ice cream for dinner. But most importantly, make sure you do what you can to enjoy the best season ever!
