The birds are chirping, children are laughing, and heatwaves are hitting you left and right. Summer has arrived and as much as I anticipated it there are still a few things I hate about it.
1. Chairs, not just one chair, all kinds of chairs.
Let's be real, sitting on a chair in the summer is hell, like literal hell. It feels like you are sitting on Satan's throne. I do not know what is worse, a leather chair or a metal chair? They're both painful to sit on and when you stand up you can feel your thighs being ripped apart and melted away. I'm not being dramatic here either, it kind of feels worse than that to be honest.
2. Having a melted face
If you want to rock that smoky eyeshadow then just stand in the sun for five minutes. Endless time spent on that perfect makeup look and you feel like your face is melting away, everything just dripping away.
3. Having to shave … like everyday
Five minutes you step out the shower you can feel the hair growing back and you're just in confusion. Those who are like me and love to have smooth legs are always struggling in the summer. There are other alternatives such as waxing (unless you have sensitive skin) or laser hair removal (which can be costly), but sometimes all you have is shaving and it's a pain but not as much as the hot chairs.
4. Cute bathing suits with not so cute tan lines
Strappy bathing suits are super cute, but the tan lines you get? Not super cute. You really can't win here, either a simple bikini with a nice tan or a cute bikini and a mess of a tan line.
5. Literally. Nothing. To. Wear.
It's illegal to be nude but anything you put on just makes you too hot. Unless there's a portable AC you can wear to stay cool the whole time, everything just makes you hot and sticky. A tank top and shorts seems to be your only outfit so all those cute summer outfits you had planned just stay hanging in your closet.
6. One hairstyle for life
Every time you try to have your hair down and looking cute it just becomes a whole poofy mess. Your only solution is a ponytail or a bun and that seems to be the only look you'll be rocking the whole summer.
7. Mosquito infested legs
It's too hot to wear pants but too dangerous to wear shorts. Maybe it's just my bad luck but it doesn't matter how much bug spray I use, they just love attacking my legs.
8. Cute summer plans are a fail
All those girls night plans you had are just a mess like your makeup that's dripping and hair that's poufy. Everyone's working and usually it's different hours so it's hard for everyone to coordinate when to go out. The summer 2k18 dream is just another one melted away.
So yeah I hate the summer because of this but I still prefer having sticky thighs and a melting face over the harsh, cold winter any day.
