Forget the calendarβ¦ apparently summer starts RIGHT NOW π
A new survey found the average American believes the βrealβ start of summer is:
π May 21st β aka TODAY βοΈ
Even though summer technically doesnβt begin until June 21st, most people clearly arenβt waiting another month for summer vibes π
π΄ People are already in βsummer modeβ
According to the survey:
- 92% of people say they mentally enter summer mode well before June π
- A lot of people consider Memorial Day weekend the official kickoff too πΊπΈπ
Honestly, once people start grilling and wearing flip-flops, itβs basically over for spring π
π₯΅ Some states are MORE excited than others
The states most ready for summer right now are:
- Maine
- South Dakota
- New Hampshire
Which makes senseβ¦ theyβve been waiting months to thaw out π
Meanwhile, people in:
- California
- Arizona
- New Mexico
β¦are apparently LESS excited because itβs already been feeling like the surface of the sun βοΈπ₯
β¨ βLive your best lifeβ season
The survey also found:
- 53% of Americans plan to βlive their best lifeβ this summer π
- While 47% say they just want to relax π
And honestly? Both sound correct.
π Summer goals are already happening
People said their ideal summer includes:
- Hanging with friends π¨βπ©βπ§
- Grilling outside π
- Being outdoors π³
- Traveling βοΈ
- Enjoying every possible free day π
About 10% even said they WANT every summer day fully booked.
That honestly sounds exhausting π
π₯ And yesβ¦ people say theyβll eat healthier
Apparently:
- 78% of Americans try prioritizing nutrition in summer π₯
- But only about half actually stick with it π
Because eventually someone brings burgers, hot dogs, and potato salad to the cookout and all health goals disappear immediately ππ
βοΈ Final thought
Official summer may still be a month awayβ¦
But mentally? America already has sunglasses on π
