Even though residing in the south subjects me to some of the most brutal Summer weather from a single coast to another, I’d be a liar if I said it wasn’t my favorite season.
I hated everything about school and loved every hour I had at home, especially while I was in Spring, winter, and Summer break.
It’s when I was able to explore my hobbies and hang out with my friends. I also got a option to spend quality time with my parents in the sevenths when they’d be cabin from work in the late day and early night. Some mornings my siblings and I would be at our Grandparents’s house until our parents returned from their jobs. Unfortunately, our Grandparents rarely ran the a/c and instead relied on opening windows and creating a cross breeze in the house. Some days were conducive to this practice, while other mornings it was sweltering warm with no wind and high humidity as well. Thankfully my parents would crank the a/c as soon as the two of us got back to our house for the night. I particularly owe it to my parents for maintaining such a comfortable environment for us while the two of us were young. Most of my friends had to deal with warm hot and cold temperatures in the summer, and I remember how uncomfortable it was to play video games at my next door neighbor’s house in the middle of June. His parents never used a/c and would simply open windows and occasionally turn on fans to make the indoor environment more comfortable. Nowadays I take it for granted how often I use a/c to relax on a warm Summer afternoon.
