SUMMER

The end of a school year starts the three wondrous months of Summer. Ending a school year feels like what I imagine the first breath of life feels like to a newborn infant. For the first time since late August/early September you have essentially no responsibilities and the only thing you have to do is have as much fun as you can possibly squeeze into 3 months. The summer is open for vacations to the Caribbean, impromptu road trips to New Orleans, Atlanta, and Houston, and very heavy amounts of crawfish and beer. These are the reasons I love Summer and why Winter break takes a backseat. In Winter there are no gorgeous women in bikinis and no scuba diving (unless you enjoy hypothermia). The Summer break is great, it seems as if there are no people in bad temper and almost no possible way to get into trouble. With Summer also comes healing. The intense breakdown and beating that your brain endures for 9 months heals. These are the reasons that I love Summer and why it is God's gift to the student body of the United States of America.
