15 Things You Actually WON'T Miss About Summer
Kylene Ronayne

Daylight is getting shorter. The weather is getting colder. Summer is ending and no one is overly thrilled about it. It may be easy to overlook some of the more exciting things to come in the fall and winter, especially when you’re used to basking in the warm, bright sun. However, there are, in fact, many things to look forward to, as well as some things that you may be excited to let go of as summer fades. Here are the things that everyone will NOT miss about the summertime.

1. Sunburn.

Sunburn

The bottles and bottles of aloe you’ve used are no longer needed in the budget. Though the tan lines may fade, your skin will finally be able to breathe.

2. The scalding heat.

Summer Heat

Consistently living in 90-degree weather is just plain exhausting. You will finally be able to walk outside and simply breathe, instead of losing slight consciousness because of the sun’s wrath.

3. Humidity.

Don't worry, the percentage of bad hair days will for sure significantly decrease.

4. Your thighs sticking to the seat & to each other.

Thigh Sweat

No more being humiliated when you stand up because your seat is drenched with butt sweat.

5. All sweat in general.

No more having to be self-conscious about armpit, underboob, or back sweat.

6. Hot cars.

“Oh great, my car says it’s 115 degrees in here, awesome.”

7. The constant smell of sweat and sunscreen.

Smelly

Deodorant and sunscreen no longer have to be reapplied every hour.

8. Having to shave all the time.

Let those leg hairs grow out girl, you’ll be in sweatpants soon enough.

9. Having to be in shape all the time.

Exercise

Stock up on food and earn a little extra layer of insulation to keep yourself warm through the winter. Bikini body no longer needed!

10. Having to shower all the time.

Committing to going outside in the summertime really means you’re committing to showering later too.

11. Being bored.

If you’re back at school, you will no longer have to worry about making plans when you’re bored. There will always be something to do to keep you busy.

12. Random downpours.

Getting caught in spontaneous thunderstorms without proper attire or an umbrella might be one of summer’s least attractive qualities.

13. Dehydration.

Now that you won’t be spending as much time in the scorching sun, your body will be able to rehydrate itself.

14. The terrible support of your flip-flops.

Let’s face it, we’ve all outgrown the $1 Old Navy flip flop sale. By the end of the summer, you might as well stick pieces of paper under your feet and call them shoes.

15. Mosquitoes.

“No mom, the mosquitoes don’t bite me because I’m ‘sweet,’ they do it because the Devil himself told them to.”

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
