[Reason 2] Days are much longer than nights, which means people are allowed to have plenty of fun with fewer hours of sleep. 5 in the morning is the best hour for me because there’s nothing better than spending a quiet morning in reading or creating something.

[Reason 3] Icecreams and soda pop have made summer a charming time. I used to think so when I was no older than 15.

[Reason 4] For me, it’s always fun to take daily shower or bath.

[Reason 5] A student, what I used to be, usually has 2 months off in summer vacation. It doesn’t even matter where he/she will be on a long trip.

[Reason 6] I can’t swim but I really love water sports. A successful summer holiday may well consist of a series of water sports. No other season can be a better choice for them.

[Reason 7] The rains are absolutely an important tag, unless you have a complex about stormy and gloomy weather.

[Reason 8] Hanging out late in the night (either with friends or alone) won’t make others think you are a psycho or homeless wanderer. Don’t you feel it special since you can’t probably do that out of summer?

[Reason 9] Fresh fruits are irresistible. During summer, fruits become more suggested than soda pop and icecreams. Additionally, the prices of many kinds of delicious fruits fall to a “new low” this time of the year.

[Reason 10] The whole world seems to be a good deal more attractive in summer than it feels in the other seasons. People can be really vigorous till  noon. And after 6pm, they regain enthusiasm.
