Summer is coming to a close, and while the masses are cherishing the last few weeks before school starts and lamenting the days growing shorter, some collegiettes are secretly rejoicing that their least-favorite season is almost over. That’s right, not everyone worships the sun, and between scorching temperatures and seemingly endless beach days, it’s not so easy being a fall/winter person in summer.
You have to pretend to be excited about the start of summer, if only for your friends.
You’re always, always too hot.

You set your computer background to some variation of this:
You’ve already planned your Halloween costume.
Your nails are perpetually black, navy or crimson… no neons here.
You’re tired of having to make this excuse every time your friends ask if you want to go to the beach:

There’s nothing quite like seeing that first green leaf turn orange.
What can we say, you’re just a fall/winter person at heart! Which is why when your friends start complaining five months from now, being all like:
