Summer

Summer.
One of the most freeing and also terrifying words in the English language (along with giblets, green, and screeching which all make me cringe and clench my teeth for reasons I am unaware of). Every summer I countdown the days until I can stay up late catching up on the new releases on Netflix and then sleep late into the morning with only the sound of the air conditioning to bother me. However at the end of every summer I end up looking back with dismay on the days that I could have filled with adventures. Being a few states over for school means I am only home for Christmas and summer and so I lose a lot of valuable time with my family. This summer, although I have been saying this for many summer pasts, I wish to make it different from the past ones.

Legendary.
What this summer will be. Hopefully. And if it isn't I always have next year.
