I have tried to ignore then subsequently hide this hatred for far too long, but it's time to get it out there. I hate summer; I hate it with a passion that burns far hotter than the 100 degree weather.
I know, I know. That's crazy, right? How could I hate summer? It's the time of year for beach trips, ice cream, and sun kissed skin. The sun is shining; people are smiling and ecstatic to finally be free of winter's cold, boney clutches, but I am definitely not one of them.
No, I'm the girl with the murderous look on her blood-red face, sweating enough to relieve a drought. Summer is Hell on Earth in my unpopular opinion, and I'll tell you why:
1. IT'S SO HOT.
I'm a bigger girl, okay, and I don't know if that means anything to anyone else but to me, that means I'm ALWAYS hot. I don't need any help feeling like there's a space heater under my skin that's simultaneously melting it off my body, thanks though.
2. The Humidity
AKA as I like to call it, Satan’s sweat. Okay, I've never called it that and I may never refer to it as such ever again, but I still hate it. It's sticky, wet, and it makes the heat so much worse. It's like getting into a pool on a super hot day but instead of the water being cool and refreshing, it's hot and terrible. Everything about summer is hot and terrible actually, but you get my point. Oh, and forget doing anything with your hair because it's just going to poof to the poorest extent once you walk outside.
3. So Much Sweat
I hate sweating so much; it's gross. I still wish I was Sam from Danny Phantom simply because she doesn't sweat.
4. Sunburn
I know, I know. "Wear sunblock!" I've worn sunblock so many times it's not even funny, but regardless of how much goop I later on myself or how much canned grease I spray on myself, I still burn. Then over the course of the following few days I will go from a human lobster to half-shed snake then finally back to normal pale-skinned self. At least until I make the mistake of staying in the sun for more than an hour again.
5. So. Many. Bugs.
The little demon spawns crawl right out of Hell to spend their time buzzing around in our faces and leaving welts on our bodies after using us as a snack.
When it comes to summer in Georgia, I just don't like it at all. If I had it my way, it'd be fall year round.Can I get an AMEN?
