The time has come: the summer blues. It is just as blue as you wish the sky was, but you know, spring brings a lot of rain. You go on spring break, either go somewhere or just relax, and you realize how great it is to not have a care in the world in 75 degree whether. Going back to reality sucks. The end of the semester seems so far away, and you do not even want to think about finals. Summer is coming, we are all ready for it and this is how you know.
1. Motivation
There is none. No motivation for homework. No motivation to go to class. No motivation to read any of the posts that are blowing up your newsfeeds. Let's be real, you have no motivation to do anything but feel the warmth of summer.
2. Clothing
It may not even be warm enough outside, it won't stop you from wearing a tank top, sandals or shorts. Sixty degrees? Bet your ass, I'm going to wear my Birks all day in the cold. And do not forget — Suns out, guns out.
3. Pale Skin
When you actually put on those shorts or tank and you realize your skin hasn't touched the sun in months. Step out into the sun, and your legs reflect the sunlight and blind you. It happens. Or you realize that your legs are as dry as a desert. Lotion (self-tanning lotion) is slowly becoming your best friend.
4. Hometown Friends
Summer break means you get to go back home and see your friends. You've been so busy this semester that neither you or your friends have been able to go home at the same time and see each other. But now you have two months to catch up and act like nothing has ever changed.
5. Early Vacation Planning
You and all your friends are so excited you have planned multiple road trips. Your group chat is blowing up with enthusiasm with unrealistic trips to the beach. Or just planning on visiting your friend's hometowns and invading their home.
6. Summer Reminiscing
As hard as you try your mind keeps wandering off to bonfires, star gazing, late nights and maybe possibly a summer fling. So much can happen over the summer. Just make the most of it, do all that you can, and just do you, fam.
All summer 16, playing dirty not clean.
