It seems to me that most of the songs out about summer seem to focus on partying the day, or night, or both away. Those that don't focus on partying focus on sex and losing virginity. These type of things are what a lot of people look forward, the crazy times, endless parties, beaches and tans.
My favorite moments in summer, however, all center around more tranquil moments. What I most enjoy about Summer is the freedom from stress. Being in school for 14 years has taught me to enjoy the thrill of not having deadlines for assignments. This is one of the best things about the job I work in the summer as well, all I have to do is show up, there is no homework.
Anyhow, a lot of the best memories I have from this summer are of times when I was alone, or with only one or two more people. I love the quiet bonding moments with my best friends and the comfortable silences. This summer has really solidified my closeness with Jenny and has showed us just how comfortable we are with each other and reminded us of why we're best friends: we click well together, we can play off each other perfectly to achieve our strange sense of humor. These moments come when we're alone, often late into the night when my parents have fallen asleep, and we're just sitting together watching TV.
One of my favorite moments of the summer happened alone. I drove to the library at Midnight, taking a route through a neighborhood. This path took me past the golf course and summit. I had my windows open, and the night was completely dark. I drove past two ponds, still as glass, reflecting my headlights. It was such a wonderful feeling, to be alone, but for the night and the radio in my car.
