(Almost) Summer Mood

Although summer is still a month away, I am very ready for it to start. Quarantine has certainly not been easy, especially living in the gloomy, cold New England weather. I think it actually snowed a few weeks ago… in May (nuff said). Regardless of the past, I am excited for warm weather, swimming in the ocean, and wearing outfits without a jacket.

My days have been pretty low key lately. I have gotten into a good routine of working out and doing yoga. Unfortunately, however, I have gotten myself hooked on Tik Tok (my screen time really proves this). It’s truly crazy how quickly time goes by when you’re scrolling through that app. I really need to delete it (lol jk, but not really). Once it starts to get nicer out, I look forward to actually getting outside more and preventing more unnecessary screen time. I can not express how excited I am to be on the beach again, reading a book, and feeling the sun on my skin. If I go another day without sun exposure, I think I will begin to blend in with my white comforter.

Being in quarantine for so long, I almost forgot what it was like to be in a social setting. Last night, I went to pick up ice cream and it was actually pretty crowded. Although this looked like things were back to normal, it felt so different. Almost everyone was wearing masks (except the careless individuals) and I felt the need to push myself as far away from everyone as possible. This situation just reminded me of how far away we are from normality and how different this summer is going to be.

Also, since I no longer have an internship, I certainly have a lot of time on my hands. Regardless, I am excited to continue blogging regularly throughout the course of the summer.
