Mixed feelings on summer here. When you have a day job and don't get a break, it's kind of just the time of year where all the public places are extra crowded during the day. When I worked in retail it was the worst but at least I'm not in retail anymore. I don't handle heat well so that part's kind of meh, but since I moved to the northeast the unbearable heat usually only lasts for a few weeks and the rest is manageable. Plus the winters are so long here that even when the heat is atrocious you kind of still have to appreciate the sun (I love the snow and cold-temperature part of winter but oh lord without my sun-lamp I would probably wither and die). There are times that I very-briefly miss southern summers just because the intensity of the sun is so much higher than we ever get up here and I associate that feeling with childhood and having more carefree days.
Which brings me to why ultimately I still like summer: all the positive memories attached to it. The timeless feeling I would get during summer break as a kid is one that I seek so badly to recapture in adulthood. It's so priceless, the feeling that there's nothing that you have to worry about doing in the near future and you have time to start ambitious projects and entertain wild, explorative ideas and you don't the need to prioritize those activities relative to others because it's not like you only have 3 hours max of time to yourself each day and you have to choose only the most 'worthwhile' things to spend your time on.
That summerlike timeless feeling is still one of my favorite in the whole world. And sometimes in the summer I still manage to find that state of mind again despite actual circumstances not actually supporting it, and it really is just the best thing.
ANYWAY good luck on your finals and such!
