Summer Time

Summer is always the best time for teenagers coming out of school. For me, summer is the best time of my life because I can do anything I want while staying out later than usual including endless ice cream dates with my friends. Summer has a special feeling to it, a feeling that I never want to let go of, summertime feels like you’ve been away from home for a while and then you open the front door and smell your house and go to our room and just lay on your bed never wanting the feeling to end.

Some of my favorite activities during summer have to be the feeling when you lay out and you feel yourself burning but that burning feeling feels as if its a hug from the sun and you can’t seem to let go of that hug. Then you jump into the pool and it feels as if the heat is melting off your body and your skin gets really oily and soft from the tanning lotion. Then your stomach starts yelling at you because you’ve been in the sun all day swimming and laughing with your friends, so everyone puts clothes over their suits and go to the nearest fast food place and sit in the car with the windows down and the music loud but at the right volume where you all can talk and laugh with each other.

On summer nights, having bonfires with your friends is so therapeutic and good for your soul. My friends and I might not know how to start bonfires, but that’s the best part about them, not knowing how to set them up and using all different types of chemicals to start fires is the fun part. Going to parties or little get-togethers is a highlight of my summer, you see so many people you know from school and people from around, and no one has to wake up early so then we all go get breakfast and have a good time at a restaurant. Making smores with your friends is so amazing also, just making a mess and having such a great time is a memory that is so fun.

If there's one thing in life I’ll never take for granted it is summer, summer means so much to me. That feeling that you know you're all done with school and drama and all you worry about is who you're hanging out with tonight. Nothing can beat the feeling of summer, especially with your best friends.
