"What I'll Miss About Summer" by ARK

Summer is almost at its end, and in a couple of weeks I’ll be returning to my life as a regular college student. I miss school already, but of course it’s a normal feeling. It’s also a normal thing to miss summer during school days. It’s a cycle of discontentment.

Here are the things I’ll miss about this year’s summer (and all the other summers in general):

1.       Blogging regularly- With all the work I’ll be doing, I won’t be able to do this regularly (maybe Dev could keep posting, but that’s just because he doesn’t like school). I’m sure you’ll miss my posts. Just kidding.

2.       Rest and relaxation. I constantly seek this during school days. All the free time to do absolutely nothing: the feeling is liberating. Not minding anything for even a while could be heaven sometimes.

3.       Warm weather (HOT weather, actually). The sun has its way of making us feel its presence. By making us sweat endlessly, summer reminds us that we should take baths. This particular summer has been irregular, though. Rain sometimes invades the season of the sun. That’s not cool. Even the weather goes moody nowadays. Blame global warming.

The perfect weather for me is waking up to a sunny morning, and ending the day with rain. This always boosts my mood (that is despite the fact that this almost never happens, and when it does, it only does so miraculously)

4.       Food. I eat more during the summer. That’s enough said. 

5.       This computer. I won’t get to use this as often as I do now. Come to think of it, I’ll be using this mostly for homework and research soon. I can’t begin to imagine the boredom.

6.       Swimming pools. I’ve only been to one pool this summer, but that’s more than enough. It was one of the most enjoyable outings Dev and I ever had. Pools are fun, especially if you have floaters with you. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not that scared of water. I just love the feeling of having one floater on my head, and one floater for my legs. That brings you the joyous sensation of lying on a giant water bed (literally).

Not to mention all the pool tricks Dev learned this summer. He learned to do a front flip, a back flip (sort of) and a handstand, underwater. He’s more athletic than I am, but I support him anyway. DON’T tell him I said that.

7.       My family. I get to bond with them more during summer.

School is cool and all, but summer has its perks too. I’m gonna miss this summer, especially when I’m starting to get buried alive with schoolwork. But summer will always return (unless global warming has anything to say about it), school won’t always be there. I miss my friends too, so maybe it’s time to say goodbye to summer.
