Your morning commute takes an extra fifteen minutes. Target is packed full of moms and kids. The county fair is over. All you can hear on the radio is back to school specials. You keep getting emails about your company’s Labor Day cookout. You didn’t sweat to death walking to get lunch the other day. This can all only mean one thing: summer is ending.
Not that I really care,but summer ending does somewhat suck. I won’t miss the hot weather, I won’t miss vacation traffic, and I won’t miss sweating my balls off. There is one thing that I, along with many others, will miss dearly: summer nights.
Summer nights are a true beauty. They are romanticized on TV and in movies. They are sung about in music from all genres. Summer nights are incomparable. There is no better time of day at any given time of year than a summer night. The temperature is perfect, the worries of tomorrow disappear, and people feel alive. Think of all the vibes you’ve ever experienced, think of all the memories you’ve made, think of all your nostalgia, and you’ll find summer nights in all three.
Summer nights are full of potential. A summer night can range from sipping Pinot Grigio on ice on your back porch and listening to the crickets to skinny dipping in the lake. Summer nights can be spent grilling for close friends, they can be spent at a patio bar, or maybe you can drink on a rooftop if you’re feeling really bougie. For all my fit fam, there is no better feeling than a long run or bike ride at dusk on a summer night. Think of all the night swims, the late night walks on the boardwalk, and the nights just sitting out under the stars. For me, summer nights are all about summer concerts. Nothing beats your favorite people, some cold beer, and singing along with some of your favorite artists while the sun sets in the background.
Farewell my sweet summer nights. I will miss you dearly. You always bring me such bliss and never throw any negativity my way. I will miss staying up with you all night and not caring about what comes the next day. I will miss all the amazing times you give me and my closest friends. I will miss all the late night ice cream runs with my girlfriend. I will miss all the nights I got to see my favorite artists, whether I was sitting on a lawn or standing in the front row. I will miss falling asleep with my window open while listening to a summer storm. I will miss all the bonfires. I will miss the drive-in theater. I will miss camping. It’s going to be hard living without you. It’s going to be hard leaving work in the evenings when it’s already dark outside. It’s going to be hard having to sit inside every night. It’s going to be hard not indulging on ice cream. It’s going to be hard trying to pretend everything is okay. It’s going to be hard, summer, but I promise I will see you again soon.
It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later. Soon we will be reunited. Soon I will see all the lightning bugs and breathtaking sunsets. Soon I will be outside at my favorite concerts. Soon I will be sitting on my tailgate eating ice cream. Soon I’ll be falling asleep with the windows open. Soon I’ll be sitting on a patio eating a giant steak paired with a good Merlot. Soon I’ll feel alive again.
Until then, I’ll be chilling with my side piece, fall. Football, vibrant outdoor colors, pumpkins, deer season, crisp air, hot chocolate, and all that other basic shit. Summer, I love you, but I’m about to go have a serious fling with October and then I’ll be back.
Goodbye summer nights, I’ll see you soon..

If there is anything better than drinking beside a body of water with your buddies and hot girls on a summer night, God kept it to himself.
Banging one of said hot girls afterwards?
The journey can be just as rewarding as the destination.
True. While both are great on their own, together they take it to a whole new level.

“It’s going to be hard having to sit inside every night.” That’s the big one. Living in the suburbs, being able to go outside at night and just listen to the crickets, or a train in the distance is like the ultimate reset button when you’re feeling stressed out.
Seriously loved this article. And love fall
Where do you live? Summer nights are just as bad as summer days in Texas. Summer nights are hot, humid, and full of mosquitoes.
Season power rankings
1.) Fall – football, chilly weather (not freezing ass cold weather) Thanksgiving.
2.) Spring – Great weather coming out of frigid winter. This is the time for outdoor activities
3.) Winter takes spot number 3 because its too damn cold. Otherwise you get the holidays and Bowl Game season.
4.) Summer. Lets call it like it is. Summer is the worst, especially as an adult. There isn’t a redeeming quality about summer. Its abusively hot and and all the good sports aren’t happening.
If you live somewhere with actual winter, as much as summer starts to grate on you by the end, it’s still awesome.
You’re seriously complaining that Texas is “too damn cold” in the winter?
Pool? Lakes? Light Beer?
You know that pools and lakes aren’t purely for aesthetic purposes, right?
You sound like a transplant. It hasn’t even felt unreasonably hot in Texas this summer, or if it did, I found a lake or pool. Summer has plenty of good sports. They’re called drinking games. It’s not pouring outside, so doing a throwback to the college days and doing a beer Olympics at the lake or a pool is perfectly acceptable.
This brought a tear to my eye
