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.

Rating Seasons

  1. Summer

Summer has to be the best season because there is no school. The weather is hot and it is the perfect time for going to the beach and vacations. The beach is definitely my favorite place to go, and I have a permanent tan for 3 months. Also, the 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. I can hang out with my friends a lot more during the week, and I don’t have to worry about school or homework. I do have painting for cheer, though, but it allows me to see my friends and doesn’t last but 2 hours in the morning. I also love spending time on the lake and going boating, and playing pickleball with friends. 

  1. Fall

Although it’s the beginning of the school year, fall has the best sports. Football season is the best time of year, and you always have something to look forward to during the weekends. Cheering for football is one of my favorite things, and we organize fun pep rallies. The weather is not too hot and not too cold, and all the trees are turning different colors. It is also Halloween and Thanksgiving. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I have a tradition of going to Kreepy Hallow every year with my friends. I usually go to the mountains with family for Thanksgiving, so it is a good time to gather with family and friends. 

  1. Winter

Although it is cold out, winter has some great seasons. Christmas is my favorite season because we get to celebrate Jesus’s birth with friends and family, and we get Christmas break. New Year’s is also one of my favorites because we get a fresh start, and I always spend New Year’s Eve with my friends. It brings me so much joy to see Christmas decorations and go look at Christmas lights. It is also my birthday in the wintertime. And if we are lucky, Sumter may get some snow. 

  1. Spring

I don’t enjoy spring that much. Everyone is ready to get out of school and there aren’t really any exciting sports to watch besides baseball. I usually am sick all season because of the pollen. The only thing that is good about spring to me is Spring Break, and it starts to warm up some. Also, it’s not daylight savings anymore.
