Summer

Summer, Good or Bad? When most students think of summer, they think of it as the best time of the year! Yes, it is true. But, are there disadvantages? Let's see: sun, friends, no school, etc. The only bad thing about summer is the extreme heat. (unless you live in Alaska) Summers in UT are very hot and dry. It can be a miserable experience when you are stuck out in the heat all day in a desert. I remember one time I was working outside on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, all day. The temperature was hot, my water was hot, I was hot, (and I don't mean looking.) It was a miserable day. Even though I wasn't in school and I was with my friend, I wanted nothing more than a snowstorm. This example shows that even during the best season of the year, the worst can come upon us. It isn't always sunflowers and flowing rivers. When things are going great they can still take a turn for the worse. So, summer may be the "most wonderful time of the year," but things can go wrong and get pretty ugly. Just don't be too shocked this summer when you can't wait for school to start again. Oh, and wear sunscreen.
