Fun in the Sun!

It seems to me that the people change with the seasons. And I know it's not just me, that's just a basic cliche. And I know there is definitely scientific proof backing me up, but this year especially I have noticed things in other people as well as myself that I haven't before.
I have learned so much in 2016, book smarts and street smarts included.
