illegal immigrants are stealing our air
Pros:
I got a dog (my first ever)
went to my first couple of raves
went paintballing for the first time
And I began learning how to drive
Cons:
My laptop died
I spent way more than I planned to this summer

June/July were great, August not so much.Temperature has been dropping, it's raining almost every day. It feels like Autumn today.
It's definitely an autumn day today here in Germany. It's windy, dark clouds looming and occasionally rainin.g out of them. Although it's relatively "warm" for an autumn day with around 16°C (60°F)

So while I was at the store this became less a "Summer sucks" and more a "Yaaaay Fall" thread. I can dig it!
Here in Florida shit isn't going to start getting better until nearly Halloween but, damn it, Fall lives on in my heart all the rolling year!

I love Autumn as much as the next person, but I have appreciated this Summer more than any other in my life. Winter was really awful here (New England).
I love being able to go outside in shorts. The sun is warm on your skin. You don't have to worry about slipping on ice or driving/crashing in snow. You don't have to spend 5 minutes bundling up and 15 minutes brushing off or digging out your car any time you have to go to work. You can park anywhere you want because there are no snow piles that take up half the parking lot. Everything is green and lush and alive. There are thunderstorms; the cool rain feels amazing. It's lighter longer, so I save a bit on my power bill by taking advantage of the natural light when I get home from work in the evenings.
I hope when Fall arrives, it sticks around for a while. I need a solid 3 months before I can even think about snow again. It's soul-crushing.

I did go camping/fishing/grilling/golfing several-few times each so summer wasn't too bad overall.

I prefer summer attire so I'm sad to see it go
You are cruel
I wore what equated to a batman poly-blend onesie with a cowl and cape last year for Halloween.
When we were leaving from the bars downtown in St. Pete, FL, I was forced to strip out of the costume and leave it in the parking garage because it was so completely soaked through with sweat that my buddy wouldn't let me in his car wearing it.
It's the best week of the year
I turned the heating on today. Summer is officially over.
I got buried under projects and missed my families trips to Disneyland and Niagara Falls
My work has 2 class of workers at the moment
- Overloaded with projects
- Thumb up ass waiting to be let go
Been an absolute massacre with layoffs so I guess I should be happy I am on the "winning" team at the moment ; (

Had a nice few weeks back in July then during the only week I booked off work (last week) it fucking tipped down for most of it.
British summers suck.

Yes. As a professor it always goes by too fast and I always get less of my research work done than I hoped before being back to dealing with teaching and administrative work.

I'm fine with summer being done. I love fall. I love pumpkin spice. I love hazelnut candles. I like wearing jeans and layered clothing. I love football and warm chili. A hot cup of coffee on a cool drive to work. The smell of the damp leaves.
This summer I did alot of laying around at the beach, playing basketball, kayaking, golfing. It's rubbish.

I actually don't mind the cold during winter that much. I hate more the fact that it's so fucking dark here in Finland during winter. You wake up early to the school: dark, you leave school after long day: dark. Fuck that. It's so depressing. During summers it's opposite and I love it. Sunlight for whole day pretty much.

I'm pretty happy about that. Fall weather is best weather.

I live in the southeast of the United States. September is about as hot as August is. Late October is usually when we get our first chilly day. The leaves usually don't change colors until mid-November as well.
