Being tan

Sunscreen? Who's she?

Not being judged for eating ice cream everyday

Personally, I don't discriminate between the seasons, but the amount of ice cream consumption definitely increases in the summer.

Camp

I have been attending and/or working at summer camp since I was three years old. Camp is the highlight of my year, and I love every second of my time with my little kiddos. No, I am not ready to grow up yet.

Getting Birkenstock and Chaco tan lines and not caring about them

#hot

Rolling down the windows and blasting country music

But people who only like country music in the summer are the worst kind of people.

Beach vibes

And the endless photoshoots that come with them.

Wearing sunglasses and using them as an excuse to not pay attention to people

And feeling like a badass while doing it.

Making s'mores

Time to play the campfire song song on repeat.

The sun setting later than 5 o'clock

Finally starting to remember what daylight is like.

 Going to concerts

Worth it to blow away all my summer job money.

 Being able to walk your dog outside and not get frostbite

The only time I ever will volunteer to do it.

 Sleeping in

Except probably not because my dog will be barking wanting someone to walk him.

 Fireworks on the Fourth of July

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?

 Saying you're going to start reading and never actually do

I read the first page and that's about it.

 Big Brother

The second summer starts means that it's time for my favorite reality show and for the endless watch parties to begin. After one of the best years yet, I have HIGH expectations for BB21.

Sorry, mom and dad.

 Stargazing

Literally the key to my heart...boys, take notes!

 Using the heat and being sweaty as an excuse to not work out

So if I already sweat, I don't need to go to the gym, right?

 Going to the playground and pretending you're a child again

Monkey chips? No one!

If you know, you know.

 Stuffing your winter coat and Uggs into the closet and pretending you'll never have to wear them again

Yeah, that'll last til about mid-September. But we don't need to talk about that right now.
