Riiiiggghhht. Isn't this how every summer starts? Big plans, super excited for the summer. Then, as the time passes, nothing really gets done to put those plans into action, or even if some action is taken, it doesn't really get anywhere. All the promises you made to hang out with so-and-so "ALL SUMMER LONG" start fading to a memory, and you end up left at home doing nothing all day. Maybe I'm being overly pessimistic, but honestly, I feel like this is where my summer is heading. All these awesome plans, these hopes and desires for the summer, and I feel like it's all slowly heading down the drain. Plans seem to be falling through left and right. All the people I was going to spend "SO much time" with have found other friends to hang out with. I mean, yes, I do see my friends some, I don't just sit in the house in my sweats eating every fattening food in sight hoping for a second to cure my loneliness, and it's not like NONE of the plans have a shot at working out, but, to put it briefly: My summer is NOT going the way I imagined it.
If you were to go back to just a few weeks before finals this past spring, and look into my picture of what this summer would bring you'd get something along the lines of a nice hot beach where the water is the perfect temperature to go swimming or maybe a few degrees colder than absolutely perfect. I'm there with my friends. We're doing fun things; volleyball on the beach, visiting the tourist shops located along the beach, splashing around in the ocean, taking tons of silly pictures, and basically just having a blast.
Now, take a look at my summer so far:
Work. Sleep. Do the dishes. Go for a jog. Hang out with friends for a bit. Work. Sleep. Go on another jog. Imagine how awesome the beach would be. Sleep. Etc.
It's nothing like what I imagined it to be, but, I'm holding out hope that this will be my best summer yet!
Until Next Time,
It will get better! It is what YOU make it!!
