Summer Is The Worst Season

June, July, and August, these three are my least favorite months.


Summer does have a few good things going for it. Late nights, beach trips, schools out, firework shows, and bonfires.

The things that clearly suck about summer include the heat, the bugs, and the clothes.

Let's start with the heat. The heat sucks! No woman enjoys sweating like a pig. Many women struggle, like I do, with the heat. I get very warm, I get nauseous and dizzy. Plus, do not even get me started on the sweat! Seriously I sweat so freaking much, it's disgusting.
Sleeping is a nightmare. (No pun intended) I end up sleeping on top of my covers
with basically no clothes on because it is just way to hot! It's not sexy, it's actually miserable and gross.

Next the bugs, JUNE BUGS ARE DEVIL INCARNATES! They are ugly and annoying! Plus, if you try to kill them, they crunch! VERY LOUDLY!! No one wants to turn off all the lights around their house just to stop from attracting bugs. I really hate trying to come in the back door and bringing 16 new hitchhikers with me. Not to mention, the mosquitos! I do not know about you but I do not appreciate being one big inflamed red bump. Plus, many people are allergic to these bites which can make them so much worse. Some people itch them so much that they bleed, then you become just one big open wound.

And then, we have the clothes. Unlike the winter, you can't just throw on another layer of you get cold. In the summer, you can't keep taking off more layers. Unfortunately, you can not just peel off your skin if you get too hot. If like me, your thighs are not the smallest, you have to deal with the dreaded chub rub. Chub rub is when your chubby thighs rub together and create friction. This in turn, causes irritation and sometimes inflammation. They do make special creams and lotions for the issue but due to the heat, they evaporate and you are just forced to continually reapply. Trust me, I am body positive but summer is made for women with no fat on their body. More fat equals more sweat and more skin irritations. Crop tops and short shorts are the uniform of the season. There is no extra fabric to hide the parts of your body that you are not too keen on.

Now if you ask me and since you are reading this, I assume you would. Summer is the worse season! The hierarchy of seasons is Autumn, Winter, Spring, all the sweat that collects on my body in the heat, and then finally, Summer.

In conclusion, summer has its upsides but about 75% of the season really sucks and I am counting down the days until it has finally ended. All I want is my crisp air and apple cider. That's right Autumn, I can not wait for you, my long lost friend.

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.
