Summer has a lot of admirable qualities; like more free time, the ability to enjoy cold beverages and ice cream, and longer days. However, as someone who is constantly craving snow and cuddling up under mountains of blankets, I have always preferred the colder seasons like winter and fall.

Summer is meant for outdoorsy people, and I am definitely someone who would rather watch Netflix in bed. And on top of everything, heat has made most days outside unbearable. Air conditioning has been my best friend throughout this summer. I would much rather be picking pumpkins in the crisp fall breeze or getting hot chocolate on a cold winter night.

The fall and winter seasons also bring the best holidays. What does summer have? The 4th of July? Meanwhile, the winter and fall have Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years! The colder seasons will always bring a sense of being with my family to me, and that makes me like them even more.

Now, I know what you're thinking. This is all great, but summer doesn't have the most important thing: SCHOOL. And for people going back to middle and high school, I get it. But, as someone who is about to start my junior year of college, I personally cannot wait for school to start. All of my friends will soon be coming back from their home towns and states. I also get to pick my classes and learn about things I am actually interested in. And, I have shorter school days. (I purposely made all of my classes start after 11am this year, because I am NOT a morning person).

Each season has their own unique qualities that make them enjoyable, but personally I cannot wait for summer to be over. I'll enjoy my time off while I can, but I don't want to be judged for wanting to start planning my fall and winter activities!
