Summer is undeniably the favorite season by far for many reasons.

However, the biggest reason is obvious: It's not cold. Winter is a real downer and can make it seem like there's really nothing to do because you lack one of the most enjoyable places to be: the outdoors! Although some may not like the outdoors, there are very few people who don't like warm weather. Who doesn't want to sit outside with shorts and a tank top on? With winter dragging on to what seems like eternity there's some things that everyone misses about the warm summer days.

1. The sunshine

The sun is a big mood enhancer; it makes everyone's day just a little brighter and just genuinely makes people happier. Also, the obvious reason it makes the outdoors more enjoyable by increasing the temperature.

2. Swimming

Swimming is one of the most wonderful things about summer. The refreshing feeling of the water and the relaxation it offers is undeniably enjoyable. Weather its a small lake or a beach anyone in their right mind won't pass up time to take a swim!

3. Ice Cream

You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream! Although we enjoy the warm weather endlessly, sometimes the sun can be unbearably hot. With this sweet treat the sunshine can be just a little more bearable as well as enjoyable.

4. Camping

Some may think camping in the great outdoors can be the struggle. Although sometimes this is true, camping is one of the most relaxing things to do. No distractions, just you and nature. It can be a real eye-opener to some who don't realize the beauty of nature.

5. Summer break

Nothing says summer like having time off; no worries, no problem! The endless amounts of studying finally pays off as soon as you embark on your summer vacation.
