I don't think so. I don't really like summer. I think I prefer winter instead because I feel like winter is more cozy, and summer right now, also due to climate change, is very hot. So when the weather is very hot during summer, usually I stay at home with the AC on and I watch TV or I try to study because usually we have exams during summer.
