Well, it's the month of August again, and that can only mean one thing: it's ending. That's right, all those days of sleeping in late, hanging out with friends, and chilling in the pool (or air conditioning) will soon come to a screeching halt. Most of the time however, we don't realize that our fun in the sun will be no more because we are so preoccupied with the above list of activities. For this upcoming end-of-summer event and for future reference, here is a full list of things that declare that summer is over.

5. Back to school displays.

OK, to be fair these bad boys are usually out in the middle of May, but it seems as if no one acknowledges them until late August. It is always fun to get your shopping done early in the season and then go back on September 1 to people watch. If you haven't done this before, trust me, it's fun.

4. The sun goes down too early.

I am 100-percent guilty of not paying attention to hours of daylight. Just last week I found myself starting a round of golf with the sun beating down on me and ending the round while using the flashlight on my phone. If you find yourself doing anything similar, you can kiss summer goodbye.

3. County fairs.

Let me ask you a question. Where could you find a place that has corn dogs, fried dough, a dunk tank, cow manure and rides that you are hesitant to go on all in the same area? Why the fair of course! In the Northeast especially, fairs are a surefire way to show you summer is ending. An obscure and fun classic that is truly an American classic.

2. You are sick of the heat.

I for one, can no longer deal with this heat. I am done!

1. Pumpkin Spice!

"No way. That doesn't count. Pumpkin Spice products are not available until at least late September."

Wrong. Dunkin' Donuts has already rolled out their pumpkin products in New York City and will begin selling to the whole nation on August 29.
