A list of reasons why summer is better season, and why we should all enjoy it.

Why Summer is Better
Timeout

A while ago I wrote an article talking about how winter is better, but being a multidimensional person, I can also see why summer is better. Being around the corner, we have to talk about what makes summer a great season, and why we should all enjoy it. It may not be my ultimate favorite, but I still do love summer.

THE CLOTHES

Starting off the same as my winter article, I have to talk about the clothes. Honestly, it wasn’t until recently that I fell in love with shorts, sneakers, and cute rompers. I do like the heat, and the tan I get from wearing shorts. It’s certainly a lot easier to dress for the summer than it is for the winter.

LATE NIGHTS

With no school (that’s if you’re not taking summer classes), being out late with friends and maybe not coming home at all is a needed part in summer. Even if you work long hours or long nights during the summer, going out for long nights is a must. It’s hard to go out after work or school during the winter, but when it’s summer, it’s easy to want to go out.

ICE CREAM

I know not everyone likes ice cream, but I’m in love with ice cream. I’m in love with my local ice cream shops, Dairy Queen, and Baskin Robbins. It’s the perfect treat on a hot day, or just about any other day in reality.

GOING TO THE BEACH

Personally I don’t know how to swim and being near the beach terrifies me a bit, but I felt like I had to put this in here just because everyone thinks of the beach during the summer. I’m sure if I knew how to swim, I’d enjoy the beach more. I’d probably go at least once a week. There’s always something fun to do there; whether it be actual swimming, tanning, going just to hang out with friends. The beach is a fun place to be during the summer.

RELAXING

Summer is connotated with relaxation considering the days are warm and long. It’s not that much of a stressful time for people compared to the rest of the year. There are sunny days and walks in the park to help us appreciate this time of year, so that we are able to unwind from the stressful times.

Summer is a great time of year filled with late nights of happiness, and we should all take time to smell the roses in the flower shops. And maybe eat some ice cream while we’re at it.

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.
