WHERE DOES THE SUMMER GO?
Seriously. Every. Single. Year. It just flies right by! Granted, I live in Chicago, land of perpetual cold, so it’s bound to feel even shorter than it actually is in these parts. Still, I am not ready for the summer to be over (at all at all at all) and if these statements apply to you, you just might not be either.
1. You search for tan lines and find none.
The sun can be a very scary thing, so don’t stay in it too long for the sake of glowing bronzed skin. With that being said, a little vitamin D does the body good. So soak up some rays (responsibly, with plenty of sunscreen!) one last time.
2. You haven’t had a single margarita in 2015.
CHANGE THAT NOW. Everyone knows margaritas are only acceptable when it’s at least 80 degrees outside. I mean, not that we actually live by that rule, but it’s obviously way more fun to drink one on a sticky day.
3. You’re STILL trying to wrangle your friends together for a last-minute summer getaway.
…And they just won’t commit! Listen, time and money are valuable and sometimes a trip can be tough to plan…but it’s summer, the time for living large. So pack your bags and go. You have little time left.
4. Your favorite bathing suit is not discolored.
It’s a sad fact of life, but if your go-to suit doesn’t show wear and tear from chlorine, you haven’t logged enough pool time.
5. You’ve barely made a dent in your “list-of-things-I-want-to-do-this-summer” list.
This one is sort of self-explanatory, no?
6. You haven’t been to an outdoor/rooftop bar yet.
GET ON IT, GIRL. (If you’re legal.)
7. You have too many unworn dresses sitting in your closet and can’t decide which one to wear to that summer wedding.
A good problem to have, but a problem nonetheless.
8. Your online shopping cart is still full of little white dresses.
Stocking up on jackets and jeans can wait.
9. You woke up and did a double take when you saw the date on your phone.
You could have SWORN it was still July.
10. You’ve said “we have to meet up before the summer is over” to at least 10 friends.
So start scheduling those date – sadly, it won’t last forever.
