I’m Over Summer, And I’m Not Afraid To Say It

I am 100% over summer and August isn't even here yet.

Remember in December when we were all snowed in and our toes were frozen no matter how many socks and blankets we wore? Those were the days we promised we'd never complain about the heat ever again because this weather was just too cold.

I do thoroughly enjoy winter because our bodies need a break from the months of sun and sweat, and summer makes us appreciate winter, just as winter does the same for summer. It's like we're stuck in this love triangle of loving summer and loving winter but also hating both simultaneously.

But I'll say it. I am 100% over summer and August isn't even here yet.

We just broke from a heatwave, with days in the upper 90's to 100. Man, it was grueling if I might add. Never in my life have I been so uncomfortable. I couldn't even get into my car without breaking into a massive sweat. My house constantly felt like a sauna and I had headaches for days from lack of hydration.

I am thankful every day that I don't live in a hotter state.

But the sun and heat are only half the problem; let's talk about the humidity.

Walking outside felt like you just walked into a bowl of creamy tomato bisque. Then, if you're a runner or cyclist, doing your workouts outside was just agonizing. If there's an athlete out there that genuinely loves to work out in 100% humidity, I'd be flabbergasted.

Now, with that being said, there are only 60 days until fall. 60 days until crispy mornings and chilly nights next to a fire. Just 60 days. We can do it guys.

I always found it so intriguing that we can so easily become so sick of something, just completely exhausted by the thought of it. That's exactly how I feel about summer. I'm exhausted buying the thought of eight more weeks of excruciating heat. I need fall nights, football games, cozy sweaters, and pumpkin lattes.

The heat makes us crazy and irrational, and we'd do anything for ice-cold water or to stay cool, like contemplating shaving our heads. None of us want that.

Let the countdown begin.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
