It’s already June, and God, the years are beginning to go by really fast. Summer always reminds me of parties, playing vidya games, and staying up all night for days at a time, either coding or just lounging around the house. I wasn’t able to do that last year because of my job (cough, sucked) and then-boyfriend (cough, sucked too). This year, unfortch, I will also not be able to do this. I have dedicated my summer to my better, gay half, since he will be a senior in high school next year and I will be a freshman in college, unable to hang out with him because of conflicting schedules.

I try to remember what else summer has brought to me, and I remember that my parents used to barbecue a lot. I also remember swimming at Mum’s friend’s house, playing with her daughter; the trips to Texas, Arkansas, and Florida, to visit family members and Mickey Mouse in Disney World (learning that the best thing in the world is a water ride on a 110 degree day); makeshift relief from sprinklers in your front yard; hating how the grass felt sticky when I sat on it; and riding my bike on a mini-city made from chalk…

What does summer remind you of?
