After all the hard work we have all put in this year, we all deserve some beautiful weather with a hint of relaxation. Although I will be taking summer classes, I'm excited to have another season of self-love.

I have always loved summer. I used to be on my neighborhood's swim team, which not only kept me in shape but gave me some of my best friends. As my siblings have grown up, I have realized the importance of having a little fun on our breaks. Adulthood is actually kind of terrifying, but we still deserve a few days of "me" time.

I'm excited because I can go outside after a long day and read a nice book. I can go outside and watch my siblings run around the house because of how happy they are. I'm excited because I can finally start to appreciate the little things in life. It's honestly sometimes hard to do that when you are in a bubble in college.

I know I will be just as busy as I am now, but I also will be in a more relaxed mood. There are some fun holidays during the summer where families come together to celebrate. It's time to really take advantage of these holidays and spend quality time with our close relatives and friends. I know I will be spending quite a lot of time with my grandma.

One of the best things about summer is being able to stay outside a lot longer. We should all try to spend more time outside by exploring our hometowns. I plan to go on plenty of walks this summer so that I can truly embrace the beauty of our planet.

I'm excited for summer break because I will be able to grow as a person. I will keep seeing improvements in myself and grow in my relationship with God. We all deserve more seasons of summer. We all deserve seasons of growth, love, and happiness. Lets try to make this summer about relaxing and loving one another.
