But then you grow up and you have to start working in the summers...and suddenly those days you spent running around the neighborhood with a popsicle stained face are over.
That was me last summer. I took summer for granted.
Now, here I sit at home for a short 3 weeks before I go to my internship in Chicago. My last summer at home. I am not doing well with that.
Summer is so unique in so many ways. People are happier. The smell of grilling fills the air and cut-off jean shorts are necessary.
I could go on and on about summer and how amazing it is but I'll leave you with a list that you should do at least ONE summer in your life.
1. Fall in love. Summer is the absolute best and easiest time to fall in love. Don't ask me why, but having a summer love is probably my favorite thing, ever.
2. Stay out late with high school friends. Soon, everyone will get a grown up, real life job and then it's over--spend as much time as you can with them.
3. Spend 4th of July in a small town. Not only as you will soon learn am I absolutely obsessed with the 4th of July, but celebrating it in a small town is one of my favorite memories.
4. Try every kind of summer beer. I now drink Bud Light Lime year round...Summer Shandy is good, too.
5. Get a tan and take a bunch of pictures. Everyone looks better tan, right?
6. Go to a baseball game of any kind. This is definitely another one of my favorite memories.And if you hate baseball, refer to number 9. They sell beer.
7. Tie-Die a T-shirt. I'm 21 and I still do this. If you think I'm childish, refer to my post about not wanting to grow up.
8. Appreciate living at home. Seriously, real life isn't as fun and it's super boring. Enjoy mom's home cooked meals and Dad yelling at you for getting home at 2 a.m.
9. Play golf. Now, before you say it's boring, you hate it, or you aren't good...They sell beer there.
10. Swing on a playground. But really. It's one of my favorite things to do and it's a proven stress reliever.
