Today I am enjoying my very last day of summer. Senior year begins tomorrow, and although I adore fall just as much I don't want summer to end. Therefore, here are some of the things I'm going to miss about the summer.

• Burning wood from bonfires
• Coconut suntan lotion
• Birds chirping
• Cicadas growing louder with every passing day
• Waking up to a warm breeze through my bedroom window
• Reading underneath the willow tree out back
• The scent of chlorine in my hair
• Sun-kissed skin
• Tap water drenching the flowers
• Fresh basil
• Sweetly humid air
• Making my own schedule
• Dreaming of the ocean
