Question is pretty-self explanatory (and five days left but let's not ponder on that). I love the fact that there's no school, and it's the only time in Ireland you can actually expect hot weather (although the last two Summers have been filled with rain), and I get to hang out with friends, and the day is longer, and I can sleep in, and so on and so on.

You?

A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

I don't have break so there's not much I can thank about.
I hate hot weather so there.

Well, I should be thankful. My friends have break so I can hang out more! Yay!

There are soooo many reasons why I would love the summer.

The beach, even if I haven't visited any of them in a while with my family, last year, my friends and I visited Virginia Beach. It was a fun day for the both of us. We took the bus there. XD Yeah, it's just that we were finally able to spend the day without worry about school or teachers. Also, the cold waters! It's the only time in the year where I enjoy the sea! Also, we built a sand castle. :-] It was just a classical one feet tall one that was knocked over by the waves. XD There's also shell collecting, but that's best be not spoken about. I stepped on a pointy one.

The 4th of July, anyone? My family and I goes to one of Virginia's park every year to see the fireworks. Also, it's a great time to spend time with family while still getting a good exercise. We practically walked the whole time. XD

We can sleep as long as we want and stay as long as we want. It's simple, yes? I also use the summer time to go to public libraries to check out books that I was missing out on during the school year. Summer is also a time where I can fully help my mom and her garden.

Obvious reasons. You get to wear nice clothes, hangout, sleep in, play Pokemon =], stay up late, party, etc.

i wanna be the wind that fills your sails,
& be the hand that lifts your veil.
& be the moon that moves your tide,
the sun coming up in your eyes.
be the wheels that never rust,
& be the spark that lights you up.
all that you've been dreaming of and more,
so much more, i wanna be your everything.. <3

The sun & hot weather, no school, all my best memories were made during the Summer. And here in Seattle, it's the ONLY time of year that it doesn't always rain :/

This is about it that I can think of at the moment. I would say weather but its so humid during the summer it just feels like a microwave when you go outside.
1. No School
2. More time to get money from work
3. More time to have to myself

Yeah, my reasons are generic - lack of school, more time to do stuff (Computer, draw, play sports, do something with my life, ect.), time to hang out with my friends... if I know where they live and vise-versa, and vacations.

Aside from that, summer is just like any other season to me, minus the snow from Winter.

Why WOULDN'T you like Summer? Short/No sleeve shirts, the neighborhood is lively, and of course... NO SCHOOL! The only downside is that you don't see your school friends as much, but that's what texting/IMing/Facebook is for.

Spending a few nights of the months sleeping outside under the stars (ok, well technically its under my porch roof, but that's still under the stars) and getting to swim. I may even get told I need to go on another vacation by work, so I could maybe look to go Island hopping with my cousin.

Because it feels different than the school year, really. Hot nights, hot days - and just being able to wander around town in shorts and do whatever I want to (mostly) and having time to myself feels great. Even if I end up in some sort of structured activity, it ends up having a different sort of atmosphere than school.

I like it. even if I get nosebleeds more often and sometimes the heat gets pretty unbearable.

I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.

Sunlight.
Educational respite.
Free time to... Finally look at colleges :/

BUT, all of Summer's merits are overshadowed by the unbearable heat.
lurid/lucid

"I want to tear myself from this place, from this reality, rise up like a cloud and float away, melt into this humid summer night and dissolve somewhere far, over the hills. But I am here, my legs blocks of concrete, my lungs empty of air, my throat burning. There will be no floating away."

Oh yeah, and I go to a FUN conference in North California every year, as well as camping :D

Same for me. ): Oh, the heat, the heat, the heat. Especially in sunny California. Add that to the smog in Los Angeles. D:

I love summer. It's full of so many things. I like the freedom feeling, and the feeling like something can happen, like a summer love or something, I dunno. And just to think I work and don't get a vacation XD;

Plus I love the outdoors and swimming :D

Remember the way I was, for me.

Free time, I can be without worries and I would have the chance to drive around in the countryside with my windows down, my sunglasses on and hair blowing in my wind like I have done so recently.

It's enjoyable. :D

Sun, blue sky, fluffy clouds, walking barefoot, warm water in the lakes, warm winds, bright evenings (and nights)... that's it.
