Is it just me, or does summer feel like it hits the gas pedal going 100 mph right after the 4th of July? One minute you’re watching fireworks planning pool parties and BBQs. Then, you’re seeing back-to-school sales EVEN Halloween decorations sneaking onto store shelves. There’s something about that big red, white, and blue celebration that feels like the season’s halfway mark—even if the calendar says very much otherwise. The build-up to Independence Day makes June feel endless, but once the fireworks fade, time seems to speed up and you can’t stop it.
Maybe it’s the routine creeping back in. Vacations winding are down, school supplies show up on shelves, and work starts to feel a just a little more serious. The days are still hot, the sun still shines, but the vibe shifts – and, no one is really ready. It’s like summer knows its days are numbered, so everything starts moving faster. Before we know it, people are already talking about pumpkin spice and fall wardrobes. Summer isn’t over just yet—Let’s enjoy it till the wonderfully bitter end!
