I don’t know about you, but I am sick of walking from south campus to north- arriving fashionably late in a not-so-fashionable sweat drenched outfit. I was ready to leave summer and all of its fun, carefree times behind along with my high-waisted shorts and tank tops. I couldn’t WAIT for a fall season filled with sweaters, boots, and-don’t make me say it- the classic pumpkin spice late. I even went to the mall to pick out some cozy clothing items to sport on my way to econ. As I threw on my comfy long, white cardigan and zipped up my boots, I excitedly pranced outside ready to step on the crunchy, beautiful leaves that accompany fall. Too bad when I walk outside, it is EIGHTY degrees.
I do NOT understand Maryland weather. One second it is scorching hot, the next it’s cold with flurries. Sometimes there’s even the torrential downpour for a week straight. This state just can’t seem to make up its mind on what season it wants to live in! I was ready to pack away my running shorts and oversized tee-shirts for good- until now. If I wanted a school that was hot year-round I would have attended University of Miami. The last thing I want to do is sit in a lecture hall with 200 of my closest friends, shoulder to shoulder drenched in sweat. I was not prepared for this. I did not sign up for this. I was even planning on listening to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You” later this week! Instead, ill have to revert back to my sublime playlist on spotify- perfect for the summer weather!
Hopefully soon we can look forward to pumpkins, turkeys, the holidays, and hot chocolate. BUT, apparently this year in Maryland, its being put off a little bit. So, for the time being, ladies, hold off on the hot drinks and blankets and get ready for some more sunshine.
