Whether it is High School Musical's "What time is it?" or Grease's "We got together," each song signalled the beginning of the most beautiful time of the year - summer. You're supposed to dance off into the sunset and return tanned, blonde, beautiful and have a 6ft Zac Efron lookalike boyfriend. It's the stuff dreams are made of and, for me, it will be just that - a dream. I'm into my last summer break before my dreaded final year at university but I'm not excited for the almost four-month-long break. Here's why: 1. You can't get a tan. The whole point of summer is the sun and sadly for us, we're more likely to see the Nessie walking down Buchanan Street than a ray of sunshine in the sky. 2. Your eye candy is more boak than beaut. In movies, sunny days are topped off with a glimpse of a topless Channing Tatum. In Scotland, we're terrified to leave our house in case we bump into a drunk, pasty and not-at-all toned man who has joined the 'taps aff' brigade. Scarred. For. Life. 3. You can't travel. Unlike the cast of Gossip Girl, we can't all hop to Paris for the month and deck ourselves in Chanel as we visit the Louvre. Silverburn is probably as good as it gets, Benidorm if you're super lucky. 4. You have to work. You have to deal with customers who want to tell you all about their holiday plans while you scan their flip flops. Is it rude to tell them to shut up, you ask? Yes but they deserve it. 5. You have social media. Constant photographs of random people's legs on a lounger next to a pool. Need I say more? 6. You'll burn. How's this for irony? You wait all summer long for the sun only to remember your Scottish and will immediately resemble a tomato the moment it appears in the sky. Pass the aftersun. 7. You won't have a Kylie Jenner festival experience. T in the Park could pass for Coachella minus the buckfast, pouring rain, and soggy wellies, right? 8. You can't wear anything summery. Your new summer dress will spend all year in your wardrobe before that one random scorching day in October that happens for no reason where you can wear it. 9. You run out of activities in the first week. Been to the cinema, mini golf, bowling and all the shopping centres? Let Groundhog Day commence because this is your entire summer. 10. You have no money. Summer = no SAAS add that to your countless trips to the cinema and Nandos and you will basically crawl back to university and beg for summer to go to Spain and never come back again.
