I am currently writing this blog on Wednesday, February 24th and it is 52 degrees out. It feels so warm and it makes me so happy. I am sitting in my room with my windows open, writing this blog, and listening to my Beach Boys record. I know 50 degrees is not really that warm, but compared to the weather and snow we have been having lately, it really feels like summer or even spring.
When I went to work this morning at seven (a.m.!), it wasn’t cold, but it definitely wasn’t warm out either. Granted, the sun was barely rising, but I still did not think today would end up being this warm. I work at Wendy’s and I was by the drive-thru window a lot, and it felt so good. I almost took my sweatshirt off, but I was too comfy. On my way home, around 3p.m., I opened my sunroof, put my windows down, and listened to music. It really put me in a good mood.
Since it felt like summer so much, I began thinking about how different summer 2020 was from where I am now, and where I will likely be this summer. Last summer we had only been in quarantine for a little under 6 months and we were basically clueless about what was going on, versus now we have been battling covid-19 for about a year and know so much more than we did before. Also, last year I was hanging out with many different people than the friends I have now, which feels so weird. I started my first job in July, so now I have been there for about 8 months and have progressed so far. Last year I was a sophomore and now I am a junior. Last year I had no idea where I wanted to go for college or what I even wanted to do, but now I am looking at my options. I will be going to college in a year and a half!
Thinking about the past and how much can change in even less than a year is so crazy and is making me feel grateful for what I have and where I am now. Who knows how different life will be this summer!
