I Hate (Love) Summer

I'm on a love/hate basis with Summer (yes the season). She's a great frenemy and you can't pull out of her orbit. She's just so much fun to be around, every time you hang out you get this rush of excitement. That's when the hate comes in. The fun is just a rush. You get a dose of it here and there, which is worth it, but then she avoids you for awhile. During the time she avoids you, you go into a period of boredom. Endless boredom. To avoid this troubling relationship I've come up with a solution. So far it's working. My summer is definitely better than the last one. I think. I've bad memory. I put up a long list on my wall with all the things I want to do so I'll never forget it. It's the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing I see at night. I won't be wasting summer.




No TV lounging. (That I could do)
No moping around. (Ok... That's iffy)
No lounging around and being lazy. (That's a laugh. We all know teenagers are lazy. It's built in us.)
Go exercise. (Good. I'm nagging myself. Sarcasm? Nah. Please.)

If you're like me and have a love/hate relationship with Summer call her. Tell her you want to hang out with her more often by doing something. Yes. Actions. If I, lazy and unmotivated when bored, can do it you can too. God, I sound like one of those corny exercise videos.

When you write it up somewhere where you'll see it everyday you're more motivated to do. Then when you don't do it you'll immediately feel guilty that past you depended on future you to not be lazy. Gah. The self guilt, which I will feel when reading this post if I don't do everything on my list.

Now go. Do something. Summer is not hibernation season...
