My Favourite Season: Summer

My favourite season is Summer!

Besides the days with over heating, I love everything about summer, and all the adventures that come with it.  I feel like summer is really my only time to separate my free time from school, and finally just have time to myself and with some friends and family. Summer is also the only really time I'm able to make all the money I need in order to pay for school. So, my summer is usually filled with work and fun! To me, it is a perfect combination a student can ask for!

Summer to me a time of adventures and being outdoorsy; to do things I wouldn't normally do in the winter. Like, going to the beach, staying at the cottage, fishing (even though I have no idea what I am doing), and go for nice walks at the park with a great breeze. 

I love summer. I live in Canada, so our winters here are COLD... like really cold. And, I've lived through winters throughout my whole life... so, you would expect me to know how to deal with the cold. But, lately, the cold just keeps getting colder and colder, which makes me more miserable and cold. Our winters don't even get snow at the proper times, like during christmas. The snow usually falls during January and mostly February until March and beginning of April.

Oh, did I forget to mention the summer sunsets? And, how absolutely beautiful they are during the summer! How red and pink and orange the sun sometime turns... just a beautiful sight to see. Oh, and a beautiful distractions when I'm driving on the clear roads. 

As you can see... winter makes me bitter. So, with hope and love, I am hoping for summer weather to extend a little longer this year! I don't think I am ready to start pulling out the sweaters from the basement and wearing my layers and jackets. So, summer please stay a little longer! I'm not ready for the cold!

What's your favourite season?!

My Summer According to My iPhone

My Summer According to My iPhone

It is a bitter-sweet thing to say, but summer is coming to an end. With just less than 2 weeks until school starts, I am just not ready for summer to be over. I finally get to relax during the rest of my summer without having to worry about keeping up with any readings and other school assignments. But, it is still crazy; school is quickly approaching. Like today, we officially moved in my sister into her new residence at her new university, and I'm here purchasing books for school.
But let's not dwell in what is about to come; how about we focus on all the good that has happened throughout my summer! I decided to share some of my favourite pictures of moments of my summer according to my iPhone! I had an amazing summer, and like I said in the goodbye letter I wrote yesterday, I had an amazing summer, and I honestly wished it could have lasted just a little bit longer! #summerforever.

A Goodbye Letter to Summer

Dear...

A Goodbye Letter to Summer

Dear Summer,
You may be wondering as to why I am writing to you a few days early... I am actually questioning this to. Not only do I have a few other posts planned for the next few days, but I am quickly beginning to realize how fast I need to get out of my summer schedule to prepare for school. Yes, I am already travelling to school and looking at the books and prices for the books I am going to need for the upcoming semester, I am traveling to Hamilton (where my sisters' university is located) and helping her get the books she needs, I am just doing as many shifts as I can at work before I am limited during the time school resumes... It is just stressful, and this week just woke me up to getting everything I need to done now rather than later.
Anyways, this letter isn't about me explaining what I am doing over the next two weeks before school, it is a letter to reflect upon all the wonderful things that happened this summer! I can honestly say that this was the first summer I've gone out of my comfort zone and actually enjoyed myself. Not only was I able to complete 3 courses (1.5 credits) during summer school, I was also able to maintain my social life with my friends and family. And I do not regret a thing!
I enjoyed all the early mornings, the late nights, the good, the bad, just the everything. I even enjoyed the weather. Yeah, there were days when it was just too hot to bare, but it is summer! I expected that. I didn't even get that dark, which is just a plus since I tan easily. I enjoyed all the lovely people I've encountered, and I am definitely happy that I had the chance to experience all the things I've experienced this summer.
I am definitely excited and looking forward to the fall weather and hopefully a white winter! I am also excited for the upcoming year! So, hopefully things will work out for me during the rest of the year just as summer as treated me!
Thank you for a memorable summer, you will definitely be missed! Thanks for everything!
