Stages Of Summer Heat You Know All Too Well

Stages Of Summer Heat You Know All Too Well

With summer just beginning, it's easy to enjoy the sunny days that are warm but balanced out by a light breeze. However, you should not forget that while college has been out for a month now, it is only June. Sadly, the heat's gonna get a lot worse - and so will your anger. These are the stages of your summer heat syndrome.

Mild Irritation

OK, so now the heat has started. But yesterday was only 75 and cloudy, so it's annoying that you now have to wear so much less clothing all of a sudden - you know that its just one day and it will go back to normal by the weekend.

Summer Body Syndrome

Why hasn't the temperature gone down? Crap! You realize the sudden temperature spike was not a false alarm. Summer is officially here and you are so not prepared. You remember that you did a lot of late night snacking during finals, so you suddenly jump up and start doing jumping jacks around your living room - that ought to do it!

Strip Down

Oh God, even the AC isn't helping at this point. Bringing a light cardigan or sweatshirt with you "in case you get cold" is no longer necessary - at all. You start to wear the least amount of clothing possible, but even you can't stop sweating.

Verbal Vomit

Not only is no one safe from the smell of your sweat, they're not safe from your foul mouth, either. You can't help it - the heat must have gotten to your brain to because if you're not having random outbursts about how angry this heat is making you, you're just saying random words.

Complaining

Everyone might be in the same boat, but this is obviously much, much worse for you. I mean its just SO. HOT.

Anger

This is it! It's the beginning of August and you are so over this heat. I mean it's bad enough that you have already had two months of this but the thought of living through all of August, the hottest month of all, sends you into a serious rage.

Physical Breakdown

So you've realized there's nothing you can do about the heat at this point. There's no escaping it, and while you'd like to stay at home with the AC all day every day, at some point you must leave and join the human race. But when you do, there is no way in hell you're be there on time, or be pleasant company.

Dramatic Water Pouring

I GIVE UP. I AM OVER THIS. HAND ME THAT WATER BOTTLE. I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE MY BOSS AND I'M AT WORK, GIVE ME THE WATER.

Acceptance

Wow, I'm sweating? Thats so weird, I don't even feel it. I'm not hot at all - wow, I'm actually a bit chilly now that you asked.

Sleep

Bye.

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.
