Why Summer Is The Best Season

Here are all the reasons why I love summer.

Why Summer Is The Best Season
Haele' Ruble

Summer is everyone's favorite season. But if you asked me about autumn, winter, and spring I would say the exact same thing. I personally just love every single season equally for completely different reasons. Since summer has just arrived, I figured I would kick it off with my favorite things about the season. Here's why I love summer.

No school.

This is an obvious one. As a future teacher, though, this is super important to me. Summer is really the only reason I chose to be a teacher. I'm kind of kidding. Having no school rocks because I don't have to worry about deadlines, tests, waking up early, packing a lunch, or having piles and piles of work galore.

Lake days.

There is always an opportunity to jump into my swimsuit, drive out to the lake and get a sunburn with some amazing friends. I love lake days because they're relaxing, but also very eventful all rolled up into one.

Jeepin'.

My family got a jeep last summer. It's a blast. There is nothing better than blaring my favorite music and cruising around.

Going riding.

On a perfect night, people will get together with their four wheelers and ride until after sunrise most of the time. The way we do it is actually illegal but what's life without breaking the law?

Late nights.

After long days at work, the lake, or just laying around, getting to hang out with friends is the best. Whether we're driving around until two in the morning, sitting around a fire, or playing some type of card game, late nights are the best. These are the type of nights that lead to hysterical laughing, overeating the best type of food, and sometimes even tears. Late nights are the kind everyone always wishes they could relive over and over again.

Netflix.

My parents hate me for this, but my absolute favorite thing about summer is that there are endless hours of binge watching different things on Netflix. Last summer it was Grey's Anatomy, but my newest obsession is Orange Is the New Black. I'm not sure what I'll watch next.

Frozen pizza and Kool-Aid.

My whole life, summer lunches have always been frozen pizza and Kool-Aid. It's easy. It's delicious. There is no losing. You know how people sometimes refer to times in the past by a smell they remember? To me, summer smells like frozen pizza and Kool-Aid.

The Fourth of July.

Fireworks, glow sticks, camping, s'mores. What more can I say?

Happiness.

Summer is just plain happiness. I love summer because I always end up making new, lifelong friends in the summer. I love how the sun comes up early and goes down late. I love to live and make memories, and summertime is when I have the most freedom to do just that. That's pure happiness.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
