Smells Like Summer

It's officially summer. Summer as Blue Bell ice cream and tank tops. Even though finals aren't over until next Tuesday, it's summer. Last night as a Texas sized storm rolled in, I turned off every electronic device in my room, except of course my clock. The sounds of thunder and rain pelting my window were the only things lulling me to sleep. No hum of the computer, turtle light, or muted Fox News on the television. Just me, some May showers, and well, my snoring dog. Eh, you can't have everything. It got me thinking about the signs that summer is finally upon us.
- Getting in your car, and waiting for the AC to catch up.
- Burning up in jeans.
- The sun burning your skin through the window while driving.
- Lightning bugs.
- Looking at that fountain, and thinking, "I would so jump in there."
- Laying out by the pool and drinking beer all day.
- The smell of freshly cut grass.
- The fact that anything over a swim suit is considered an outfit.
- Cherry limeade slushes.
- Having to shave your legs everyday, and not really being all too put out.
- Sweet tea and BBQ on the porch.
- Freckles coming back full force.
- Remembering a time when school in the summer was a punishment, not necessary.
- Bright toe-nail polish.
- Planning vacations that will never be.
- 2 month flings.

Feel free to add your own summer thoughts! =)
