Summertime

By: Mary Carter Smith

Summer is my favorite time of the year. It is so much better than winter for multiple reasons. One being you are out of school. School causes a lot of stress such as grades, studying, practices, waking up early, the list could go on! I also am not the biggest fan of the cold.I hate having to wear a jacket or sweatshirt everywhere I go because it is so cold outside. During the summertime you can put the boots, hats, gloves, scarfs, jackets all up! Warm weather also makes outside activities more enjoyable. Summer also means longer days and more time to be productive and social. A highlight of it being summer is Pelican Snowball opens back up! Snowcones are my favorite sweet treat especially from Pelicans. I usually get superhero which is blue raspberry and cherries mixed together. Ten out of ten would recommend it to anyone. My favorite thing to do during the summer is go to the beach. Most of the summer I usually go to my beach house in Isle of Palms, South Carolina. My family has a house on the marsh which is my favorite view. I love hanging out on our dock and going on our boat. Tubbing would probably be my favorite summer activity. I love the fear of falling off the tube and holding on as tight as I possibly can to try to stay on. Another fun summer activity is beach days. I love laying out on the beach. The breeze is always so nice and the beach is always relaxing. My favorite thing to do while on the beach is swim in the ocean. Some people are scared of the ocean. I personally love it and am not scared of sharks or other creatures that most people are. When the end of the summer comes around I get upset but then remember summer will be back again.
