17 Reasons Why Leo Season Is The Best Season

Leo season is the best part of the summer, and by far the best time of the year.

I've always been obsessed with astrology and horoscopes. It gets me even more excited to read my horoscope during Leo season. I guess you can tell my zodiac sign based on the fact that July 23-August 22 is my favorite time of year.

Here are some of the reasons why Leo season is the best season, as told by a true Leo herself.

1. Right in the middle of summer

It seems as if, at the beginning of the summer, everyone's either so busy with traveling or so exhausted from the spring that they'd rather lay in bed with their AC on all day. By the beginning of September, everyone has the blues about summer ending. Leo season is in the center of the summer, when (mostly) everyone is available and in the mood to have a good time.

2. Students catch some R&R (for the most part)

Internships and jobs are a headache, but ignoring the occasional summer course, students can take a much-needed break from the hassle of constantly writing essays and studying for exams.

3. Perfect time for vacation and travel

The middle of the summer is perfect for travel. You'll probably be able to get the whole family together since workers tend to take holidays in the middle of the summer, and students are on vacation during this time as well. There isn't much that beats taking a trip on your birthday!

4. BBQs and other outdoor parties

There's so much more to do when it comes to partying if you're outside. What's better than celebrating a birthday with a pool party, BBQ, beach party, or another outdoor party? Plus, everyone knows beer pong is more fun when you have more space!

5. Beach days

Although not everyone is in love with beaches, we can all appreciate a nice trip to the beach once in a while; whether it's taking a drive down to the shore, jogging along the shoreline, sunbathing, or splashing around in the water with friends, the beach can be very refreshing.

6. Golden hour photoshoots

If you're anything like me, you know that the best part about a beach day is the photos you wind up taking. Just as the sun sets, your pictures are going to look so amazing because of the golden glow the setting sun gives off.

7. Outdoor concerts

The Championship Tour

All concerts are fun, but there is something extra special about outdoor concerts. I've always found that at outdoor concerts, more people can enjoy the show, you have more room to dance, and the overall vibe is so much better.

8. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises

You may not be a beach person or an outdoor person at all, but I feel like everyone can admire a good sunset or sunrise if they happen to stumble upon one. There's just something so peaceful and reassuring in looking up at the sky to find such natural beauty.

9. Carnivals

A nice way to spend a summer night is having fun at a carnival. Whether you go with your family, friends, or a significant other, there are so many ways to enjoy yourself. It's almost as if the summer isn't complete until you've gone to at least one carnival. Plus, there's nothing like a carnival-themed birthday party for a Leo!

10. Longer days

Ignoring the fact that the nights are shorter (which may be a turnoff for night people), there is so much more time during the day for doing just about anything you please. Also, it takes longer for the evening to get dark, so you have another excuse to stay outside for a few more hours!

11. Ice cream and other cool treats

Teylor Veliotis

Nothing is better than a chilled snack when it's hot out, and nothing can cool you off faster than a few scoops of ice cream. As a Leo, ice cream is always at the top of my list when I'm planning things I need for a party.

12. Great food is in season

So many refreshing fruits and veggies are in season during this time of year; a few of these tasty treats include watermelon, strawberries, passion fruit, raspberries, cucumbers, and cantaloupe. It's a good thing that such wonderful food is in season just in time for these Leo parties!

13. Show off your tan

Everyone thinks they look better with a tan; the colors on jewelry and clothes pop out, and your face has a natural, radiant glow to it. I know that I'd rather celebrate my birthday looking like a slice of bread that stayed in the toaster a little bit too long rather than uncooked chicken!

14. Summer sales

Leo season is the perfect time to shop because of the sales. Items tend to be a little pricey in the beginning of the summer because everyone is so eager to buy the things they need for the season. Summer items tend to get cheaper and cheaper the closer it gets to the fall. What a perfect time to buy a gift for a Leo!

15. Convertible season

Stanley Veliotis

So, technically convertible season is all summer long… but it's safe to say us Leos love to blast our music as we cruise through town. Nothing says, "Cheers! It's my birthday!" like zooming across the neighborhood with a big bow on your car.

16. Less allergies

The changing of seasons tend to bring awful allergies. Mid-summer is a pretty safe time for people who suffer from allergies because the weather is pretty much static. Therefore, everyone (except those who are allergic to fungus, mold, and spores) can enjoy themselves at an outdoor birthday party because there is no need to worry about sneezing or congestion.

17. Most importantly: it’s our birthday!

This is obvious but too important not to mention; of course the best part of Leo season is that every Leo gets to celebrate their birthday. Is there better reasoning other than the fact that Leos get to be worshipped—like the royalty they are—to prove that June 23 to August 22 are actually the best thirty-one days of the entire year? This Leo says, "nope".

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
