Why I Love Summer Vacation

Summer vacation is my favorite time of the year.

Summer vacation in Los Gatos is so relaxing. School has been out for about a month and I am finally beginning to feel calm.

I love not dealing with assignments and due dates. It feels so good to wake up in the morning knowing that there is nowhere that I have to be, nothing that I have to do. It makes me wish that summer vacation never ended.

School is such a huge part of my life. It has an enormous impact on everything that I do between September and June. Sometimes it feels like school runs my life. When school finally gets out, I am so tired of reading books, writing papers, and taking tests. Summer provides eight weeks to relax and get ready to do the work all over again.

My summer has been, for the most part, uneventful. This is not necessarily a bad thing. I have been on a few brief trips and spent a lot of time doing things with my friends. Some days I unwind around the house, going out of my way to not do anything. Sometimes I go with my friends to Starbucks, where we can hang out and talk for hours. Every Saturday, my friends and I go to yoga. Every once in a while I do something special with my family.

Summer vacation is so wonderful! To the stressed out student, nothing feels better than knowing that there is nothing to do. In the perfect world, summer would never end.
