I'm THAT person who can't stand summer

Is this normal? Asking for a friend.

I complained about this previously, but there's more to why I'm not a summer body like everyone else is. I've totally scrolled through my Facebook or Instagram feeds, sighting people relaxing with their toes in the sand, grilling burgers, hiking or traveling around the country.

What am I doing? I'm near the air conditioner contemplating which television series to binge next on Netflix.

Here's a question: am I weird for hating the summer?

I've tried to explain my case to most of my friends, but they either call me crazy, boring, or argue me down. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person that would kill to wear sweaters, walk on autumn leaves in 60-degree weather, or take in the cool breeze on a sunny spring day. Not too hot, not too cold.

Autumn and spring are my favorite seasons of the year. My birthday lands in March, so that gives me more excitement.

But, if anything, I don't get the hype about summertime. I get it, it's a 3-month vacation. You don't have to wear layers of clothes to avoid bitterly cold weather, and instead, you could go shirtless and call it a day.

The sun doesn't set before 7 P.M. and there's a lot you can do.

However, some people tend to forget the humidity, heat waves, poor air quality, mosquitoes and wasps that come along with the summer. I hate it.

I'm a home body when I'm home for the summer. As long as you give me air conditioning, food, music, and a book to read, I'll be fine.

Force me outside in the heat and you'll probably see that I'll get very agitated. Very, very agitated.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind trips to the beach. Boardwalks in the summer are cool. I'm just aware of when it's too hot. Any weather over 85-degree weather, with humidity, is not my thing.

Not to mention, I don't like to show a lot of skin. Maybe that's why I'm so pale. Shorts are cool. Tank tops suck. I hate sweating. Blah.

So, is it normal for me to hate summer? I'm curious.

Tell me what you think in the comments.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
