Currently during the fall season, the weather seems to starkly be in contrast to itself week after week. One week it’s high 80’s to 90’s then the next it’s the opposite, cool 70’s or below. Strangely, it’s made me realize how often I check the weather. 

When I check it, it makes me think of how I’ll feel throughout the day according to the weather. During the warmer weather I’m usually in a much better mood compared to cooler weather, being I’m usually tired and have less energy. This started to make me compare the two seasonal changes.

For summer, I think I’m generally more inclined to be more carefree and optimistic. Of course the days feel longer as well and I feel as though I have more energy. Being able to stay up during the summer nights makes me think back on the season as something enjoyable. Then again, the heat itself is what makes me rethink whether or not I’d miss it wholeheartedly. Being in the heat with more than one person is probably the top five worst experiences of all time. Everything becomes a disturbance and then I can’t even think straight because of the heat.

As for winter, I usually start to dream of winter when I get too hot at night and wish that it would come so I wouldn’t burn to death. Now that it is the cooler season I honestly am shivering every morning as soon as I wake up. It then almost makes me miss the summer though it was what I wished for. The season itself is a bit depressing and I always seem to underestimate how cold it really is outside. The time also moves extremely slow, the good part is warm foods tasting better than ever.

Ultimately, both seasons never fail to make me miss the other, like an endless cycle of wanting the season to end just to miss it when it’s over.
