We all know that Seattle is no different when it comes to seasons; four distinct temperatures that always catch us by surprise. Summer, for sure, is no different—we are suddenly reminded that we all need to put away our parkas and umbrellas and scavenge for new shorts and tanks. Along with new wardrobes, there are lots of other thoughts that come to mind about the heat:
Wow, is this what the sun looks like? I almost forgot after 9 months of winter.
It’s so hot.
Did we always have this fan in the corner of the room?
Am I melting?
Sweat stains, great! Ok, note to self—Never wear gray.
Black on black is also not an option anymore.
I forgot that it is sunny here and I only have pants.
It is perfect weather to go for a run.
Hmmm, maybe I will go for a run tomorrow.
Does planning my run count as exercise?
Who wants ice cream?Ice cream is my only source of dairy and that’s fine.
How is it still light out past 9 pm? This never happens.
Wow guess what?? Today’s forecast set the record for the hottest day!
The sun is waking me up before my alarm…this is going to be a problem.
I can’t sleep.
Which is the cold side of the pillow again?
Let’s go to the beach!
Let’s wear shorts to the beach instead of our rain jackets and boots!
IS IT GOING TO BE 80 DEGREES TODAY? YAY!
Time to get my color for the rest of the year.
I finally get a chance to put this sunscreen that I got on sale last year to use.
I can’t have an uneven tan.
Which pair of sunglasses matches my outfit?
Dang it! I forgot my sunglasses.
Wearing my backpack to class is making this much worse.
How am I supposed to concentrate in class while I am sitting in a puddle of my own sweat?
Does walking to class count as my daily exercise?
Can’t wait to jump in the shower.
How am I already sweating again?
Which clothes do I own that give me the most airflow?
Oops, almost forget to get Deo for my B.O, close call.
Why don’t we have AC?
We need AC.
The mall has AC, phew.
How long do you think I can stand in front of the AC before the mall cop kicks me out?
I AM OFFICIALLY MELTING!
Did I even drink this much water? Where is all this sweat coming from?
Ohh yay a cool breeze.
Wait, that lasted a good .02 seconds.
Did I forget my water bottle?
Hold up, let’s take a water break.
How do I only have $5.62 in my bank account???
Let’s have a barbecue!!!
I wish I had a pool.
Beach body is not quite ready……oh well.
When did all my snapchat friends become boat owners?
Oh great another sunset picture…never seen that before. *Scroll*
Oh great another firework video...now I don't have to watch the live show.
“Can you take a good picture of me at the beach so it looks like I am having fun?”
“It’s so hot outside” –- Me if I went outside
Let’s go hiking!
Let me just stand behind this tree so that I am not in the sun.
When did this park become so crowded?
Um, how are we going to keep our drinks cold in the park?
Is there a bathroom there? Is it clean?
Oh, your room is on the 3rd floor? You mean the sauna?
Um, excuse me there is a bug crawling on your picnic blanket.
Did you bring the mosquito repellent?
Great, I can’t watch my favorite Netflix show because there is too much glare coming from the sun.
Where is the sunlight coming from? I just closed the curtains.
What is that mysterious tickle on my foot? Is that a bug.
It’s raining…almost forgot that was a thing here.
We can’t go to the beach because it’s supposed to rain tomorrow!
The sunset is at 6 today.
I think I am going to bring my sweater, it is kinda cold today.
Wait, is summer over???
Maybe next summer I will actually do something cool!
