13 Things I Like / Dislike About Summer

by ** Tatiana Caldwell ** on July.8.2010

I like summer. I really do. I used to like it more when I was younger, and when summer meant a break from school, cool vacations and a chance for a summer-job so I could make some money. Now that I’m a little older and have to earn money year-round and don’t get 3 months of time off from ANYTHING, I can see just as many cons to summer as I can pros.

  1. The sun is out! / So are the bugs, blegh
  2. Swimming and waterplay / Swimsuit shopping (loathe it)
  3. School is out! / Kids complaining about being bored
  4. Cute, comfy clothes / My not-cute thighs are visible in shorts
  5. Open toed shoes / My toenails must stay polished
  6. More hours of sunshine in a day / Same hours of work in day where I can’t go out and enjoy said sunshine
  7. Hot, shirtless men / I’m stuck in my bra AND a hot shirt
  8. Flirty summer dresses / Getting hit on by strange men constantly (hmmm … or maybe I kinda do like that?)
  9. Warm enough to walk around the house naked / Having to put clothes back on to answer the door
  10. The heat is on! / Feeling sleepy due to the heat and wanting to nap, but can’t because I’ve got work to do
  11. Getting sweaty / Being sweaty
  12. Grilling lots of yummy food outside / Working off the calories from pigging out on all of that yummy food
  13. Vacations! / Paying for vacations
