You could argue that summer is better because there isn’t any school, the weather is warm, and you can live by the pool. Surprisingly some people still think winter is better.
Personally, I don’t get it. Who would want to go to school when it’s dark and freezing out?
I love to go swimming; it makes me feel like a mermaid. I can’t bear the thought of not knowing how to swim. Nothing is better than swimming in a cold pool on a hot summer day.
One thing I hate about winter is ice skating. Why is it so hard and embarrassing? I can’t imagine people finding it fun to skate on ice with nothing but a thin blade holding you up.
I get why people don’t like summer: You don’t see your friends from school, you might not like being in a bikini, or you don’t have anything fun to do. However, there are still some fun, free and super easy activities to do, like going on a walk or tanning in your backyard.
Alison Cuppia, a teacher at Mount Pisgah, enjoys winter and explains why.
“I like winter because you can make yourself warm and cozy; like it’s easier to make yourself warm and cozy than it is to cool off in the summer when it’s hot.” said Cuppia.
It is a plus that winter is cozy and warm by the fire, where all you want to do is bundle up and drink hot cocoa in the comfort of your bed, relaxed and calm.
Bailey Waller, a freshman at Mount Pisgah, loves winter – stating her favorite things to do.
“Watching a show in my bed with a cup of tea or watching movies or just being cozy at home,” said Waller.
But personally, I’d rather be outside enjoying the sun than staying cooped up inside. The sun is a natural dopamine, which means it can increase your dopamine levels and make you happier. One of my favorite ways to get sun in, is going on a walk.
I love walks in the warm, breezy summer air. The flowers are blooming, the grass is green, and nature is everywhere. You can wear a tank top and shorts, bring your dog and just walk comfortably with no worries in the world
“I do enjoy my summer break for sure,” said Cuppia.
Since you can make your own schedule, it’s easy to go on vacations or short road trips while blasting music. You can travel around the country, go international, or go somewhere local, like camping.
Summer is all about freedom and doing what you want. The sun sets later and there are cool nights and warm breezes.
Songs that feel like summer, make me want summer all year round. I get excitement from blasting summer music and just enjoying the moment. Summer-like music normally has an upbeat, positive vibe, and reminds you of your favorite summer memories.
