As the summer is ending and school is approaching, it seems as if everyone thinks so negatively in August. They look back to June and July and think, "Wow. Those summer nights really went by fast." But for me, those summer nights have just begun.
1. Vacation.
This is usually the month that my family plans our family vacation. This year it was to Rockport, Massachusetts. Last year, we went to a different place, but all of them usually happen in August. This month just brings back all the good things about being home, right before I leave for college. I get to spend the last of my summer with my family on the beach, and I couldn't be happier.
2. Clam chowder.
Every summer, I make it one of my priorities to always get clam chowder. However, I feel like the only time get the best clam chowder is in August (maybe that's just me being biased because I love August so much). New England clam chowder is by far the best type of chowder and New England summers are just starting in August -- yum!
3. Sunsets.
What can I say? The sunsets in summer are just gorgeous, but the sunsets in August are magnificent. They are orange and pink mixed with red and blue. They make everything else in the world seem so small.
4. Tan lines.
This is totally self-explanatory but, still, tan lines are the best. They show how much (well, for me, at least) pale/pasty color has gone away and August burns the brightest in creating the best tan lines!
5. Back to School!
As much as a lot of people do not like school, going back and starting a new year is always refreshing. I am particularly excited to go to school later this summer because I am going to college! Back to school time is refreshing and exciting.
