Columnist Conversation: Is Summer really all that?

by Matthew Jegers and Vivian Wilson | Published June 2, 2025

Matthew: Hey, Vivian! I hope your summer is going well, as well as it can go, given that it is the season of heatstroke, mosquitoes and humidity. This may just be me, but outside of the freedom from school, I fail to see why everyone goes crazy for this time of year. Am I missing something? 

Vivian: I don’t think you’re missing anything. The pure nastiness of summer is why it’s so fun. While it depends on who you talk to, one of the distinct charms of summer is the physical conditions it comes with. It’s a season for jumping in the creek, rolling around on the grass, checking for ticks afterward and inevitably getting a little sunburnt. 

While I’m not promoting reckless behavior, there is something innately freeing about being able to experience the great outdoors without time constraints. It’s fun to explore.
