Grat Summer

As August is more than halfway done, it has dawned on me that Brat Summer is almost over. 

Now, brat summer is in fact a mentality and can not be contained to the three months of June July and August, but before it's over I would like to write out my own list of things that I think are Grat and apply to Grat Summer. (starting with a few as seen on my Instagram story). Lucky for you, Grat summer is also a mentality and can last you deep into February and beyond. Anyways, things that are Grat:

1. Overdressing for casual occasions
    
   
2. Underdressing for fancy occasions
   
   
3. Fermented foods
   
   
4. Morning walks before checking phone
   
   
5. Taking yourself on playdates such as rock climbing, museum-going, watercolor painting, park-wandering, and any other activities that illicit childlike wonder
   
   
6. Crying for absolutely no reasonable reason
   
   
7. Watching movies (Grat movie summer list includes Daisies, Begin Again, Devil Wears Prada, High School Musical 2, Shrek, Reputation movie, Clueless, and Ferris Bueler's Day Off to name a few)
   
   
8. Going out and ordering a single drink (very demure)
   
   
9. A dozen 1-dollar oysters
   
   
10. Letting love find you (I'll let you know how that goes)
