| Everything is alive in the summer! |
An example is when I made a post on facebook, about how I wish it could be Summer all the time, one facebook friend told me about how they love cooler weather. In which I told them that I love hot weather, and all of my friends seem to like cold weather, and how it bothers me that all of my friends like winter. In which another friend posted saying how they love cold weather and wanted to trade places with me! I thought it was annoying because, here I am talking about my love for summer, and these people keep complaining to me about it, and their likeness for cold weather. It saddens me, because I want more people who agree with me, I want my summer/hot weather peeps! I just get more fans of the cold.
I also really dislike that term "At least in the winter, you can put more layers on!". It doesn't matter how many jackets I put on, I'm still going to be cold! Plus, I don't want to walk around wearing 80 jackets, thank you very much. Not to mention, that you can't really cover your face, so that will always be cold, and if you have gloves, you can't hold things properly.
Also, that feeling of being in a warm blanket, and then having to get out into your icy cold room, IS NOT FUN. So no, layers doesn't work. Not to mention, when you put "layers" of clothes on, and you're "Warm" on the inside. You tend to sweat inside of your jackets, while your face, hands, and maybe even feet, are still freezing. That's not a fun feeling!!
During the summer, you can put on the AC, go swimming, or just splash some water on yourself! Especially a cooling fan that sprays water. I like being warm at all times, winter does not provide that.

| Everything is dead in the winter |
My entire life, I have always enjoyed warm weather. I always loved nature, the flowers blooming, trees, the smell of nature, everything under the sun! On the opposite end of the spectrum, I have always detested winter. I used to like snow, but now I can't stand it. In fact, during some of my school years, I used to get depressed that it was winter! It's known as S.A.D, or Season Affective Disorder. I would just get so dulled out, that it was cold, lifeless outside, and get dark earlier. Fortunately, I got over S.A.D.. but I still hate winter!
For me, 70 degrees Fahrenheit, is the best weather. It's warm, and not too hot, or chilly. I don't believe I'll ever understand people who enjoy cold weather, I'm cold at 60 degrees Fahrenheit!

My Pros and Cons of Summer
Pros
• It doesn't get dark out, until around 8pm. So you have more things you can do, like hiking!
• Warm outside, don't need a jacket.
• Going Swimming, in a pool, or at the beach! "
• The Beach is the best!

| Pool |
• The earth and nature is alive, and it's beautiful.
• No waking up in the morning walking around with a blanket around the house, because it's warm out, and not freezing.
• You can go on hikes in nature, ride your bike and other fun & adventures activities. (Due to my extreme dislike for cold, I refuse to do those things when it's cold out, I just don't like it!)
• Warm weather provokes you to be more activity oriented.
• Barbecue's!
• Short clothing, sandals, shorts, short sleeve shirts, no shirts.
• Trips to the mountains/forest.. etc.
• If you accidentally leave hot food in the car, it will stay warm!
• If you're into guys, and or girls, you're in luck, because plenty of people will be almost naked to stare at! (Like this one time, when I was taking the bus, and I got off the stop, and I was walking down the road.. and I saw this beefcake daddy with beautiful muscles just standing by his house and I was staring so hard.. I think he noticed, so I looked away like a bashful school girl!)
Cons
• Taking showers are weird because then you're hot and sweaty again in five minutes and feels like the shower was ruined.
• Mosquito's and other bugs
• When it starts to get colder, but you don't know what it's going to be like outside.. as the weather is very fickle.. and so you can go out and it'll either be sweater weather or not.
• Humidty can be hard to breathe in
My Pros and Cons of Winter
Pros
• It's so cold that you don't want to go outside, so you have an excuse to be a hermit.
• It gets dark earlier, so you can do night things like star gaze, or get freaky in the sheets. (What? I know that's what all "Ya'll" were thinking!)
• No Mosquito's or most other bugs.
• Getting to take lava hot showers! (Cause it's too hot to do in summer, unless you were in a cold pool and go into a Jacuzzi)
• If you're a sexual being with a significant other, you can cuddle with them to keep warm.
• October has the best clouds, just saying.
• If you leave a cold drink in the car, it will stay cold!
Cons
• It's cold outside!
• Because it's cold, the wind makes it even colder, and harsher. (Why does the air hurt my face?)
• Nature is dead, the leaves are all gone from the trees everything is dead, and depressing...
• You have to heat your car up before you go to work or school, because your front windows are always covered with ice, and fog. Might I add, it takes forever for a car to warm up in the winter. But it's very easy for a car to use the AC, in the summer.

| "Fun" 20 mins wasted after work, cleaning my car off. |
• Snow = Obnoxious amount of shoveling, can't walk around freely, might hurt yourself by slipping on ice. I'm the kind of person who leaves for work at the last minute, so when it snows. It takes me 50 years to get the snow off my car, and then I'm late. I don't pay attention to when it's supposed to snow, I hate snow, I don't want to think about it. When it does snow, I'm usually put off guard, and then I'm late...
• An obnoxious amount of snow means you can't get around your house unless you shovel for hours.
• When it starts to get colder, but you don't know what it's going to be like outside, as the weather is very fickle, and so you can go out and it'll either be sweater weather or not.
• It's always cloudy in the winter! Cloudy weather is boring, and depressing.
• Let's not forget when it gets so cold, that you get frostbite!!
• Cold weather makes my skin dry, it cracks, and gets red, and itchy. It's not fun! This only happens to me in the winter.
• Going to the bathroom is a nightmare because the toilet seat is colder than Antarctica!
• Waking up in the morning is a chore, because I don't want to get out of bed. Once I get out of my blanket, I will be greeted with the cold, and icy feeling of cold weather! It takes me 80% longer to get out of bed on a cold day, than a hot day. Hot/warm days energize me, and I love to get out of bed.
• I like to be free. With that being said, I don't like wearing 80 layers of clothes, I like wearing short sleeve shirts and light pants/shorts. I hate having to wear a bazillion coats, it's restricting. Plus, I can't pull off cute outfits if my shirt is being hidden by a coat.
For people who don't like summer, I recommend getting a cooling fan, that also has a water canister you can spray! It's super fun, and useful! I got mine by O2cool.
Spring & Fall:
I don't have a problem with fall or spring, I like fall because of Halloween, and I like Spring because the flowers are blooming again. But I don't necessarily have a favorite, but maybe Spring because it means Summer is coming..
Final Thoughts: - In reality, people's likeness for Summer, Winter, Spring, or Fall. Comes down to their bodies resistance to certain weather. I've always noticed that people will talk about how hot it is, and I'm fine. I just have a natural resistance to heat, so it doesn't bother me as much as it does others, and the same could be said about people who like winter. They just have a resistance to cold, and therefore don't mind it.
I've never heard anyone hate fall, but any time someone says they don't like spring, it's because of allergies.
