It is no secret that summer is one of my favorite seasons. If we could keep both summer and fall and get rid of the other two, I would be content 24/7. So, I was thinking about what makes summer unique and special. I actually think I have worked more during the summer than I regularly do throughout the year. My first summer at Oklahoma State, I had the privilege of staying on-campus and working with New Student Orientation. Last summer, I got to travel back out east and work with some incredible friends and professionals at the University of South Carolina. With all of this work, why do I love summer so much? I know that is the question you are asking yourself, right? I will tell you everything that makes this season incredible (to me):
*Cool mornings
*Warm days
*Summer drives
*Loud music
*Windows down
*Eating watermelon
*Drinking lemonade
*Picnics at the lake
*The 4th of July
*Lounging at the pool
*White t-shirts
*Bright colors
*Summerfest
*Concerts
*Walking barefoot
*Wearing sandals
*Evening thunderstorms
*Afternoon rain showers
*Big sunglasses
*Cold beer
*Slushies
*Summer movies (this summer is a bit of a letdown...)
*Traveling
*Tennis
*Water parks
*Roller coasters
*Sleeping in
*Hiking and camping
*The beach
*Food Network programming
*Reading outside
*Running around Boomer
*Exploring
*Campfires
*Smores
*Stargazing
*Walking dogs
*Sand volleyball
*Everyone's nicer (not proven, but I'm sure it's true)
This is a condensed list. I'm sure there are more. Feel free to add your own, whether it is a comment to this page, on FB, or through Twitter. Thanks for reading. Enjoy the start to your summer season!
