I have read in a discussion here that some people enjoy the month of August. I hate August. Why? Because I grew up having to go back to school in that month, and that seemed depressing because I hadn't been studying for so long, and I didn't know what to do to control my stress. Some people hate August for that same reason. Others hate it because the month is so hot or because there are no holidays to celebrate in the USA except birthdays. How do you feel about August and why?

Autumn is around the corner and my mood is happier then, so August gets me pumped up.
-
August is usually the hottest month of year...anywhere you go. Year 2016 will be gone soon.
-
August is still the month that school starts in. Over here it starts on the 16th, and that's the end of my vacation and back to work. Won't say I hate August but it is a trying month for me.

That sounds way too early to start school.
-
Yeah school starts mid August and hubby goes back to work. It is hard with him home all summer underfoot. I don't know how i will handle it when he retires this year. He is now only going to teach in high school and not grade or mid. Which means he will be home a lot.
-
August is hot so i hope it will go fast.
-
I don't really like it or not like it. Other than it being way too hot, I don't think of it as any better or worse than any other month
-
So far, the temps 8) down a bit.
-
Actually, I liked school. Also, that is long ago for me. I don't even have children in school anymore. I rather like August. It is sometimes quite hot here in Michigan but can also be a month of cooler temps. It is difficult to say in this state. It also stays light late into the evening yet in August. So...overall, I like August because I detest winter.

August is the month when the kids get ready to return to school. Shopping for new clothes, shoes, and books can be a hassle.
-
August is fine to me it's still summer and I love summer.

That's no longer true for public schools or the UW in Madison, WI. School now starts in September for those schools because summer jobs often last up to Labor Day.
-
August is okay by me because I know fall is coming around the corner and that means my birthday is approaching so I'm happy.
-
August is ok and usually very hot but I prefer heat to cold weather. I don't complain just deal with it.
-
I like August, I just hope it is cooler than July. It has really been hot here.
-
It is the last month before fall starts
-
So far so good.
-
my grandkids start school soon...but i will be glad to see august end..its the fall weather i like...
-
I love the month of August. The weather is usually very nice. It's getting ready for school to start so it's fun!
-
August is fine to me, I just think about the heat and the kids going back to school. August symbolizes the end of summer break to me and back to waking up early and driving through school zones.

Well, August has been known to be the hottest month of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
-
August is generally a very warm month but it's great because football is just around the corner
-
I'll be glad when it's over, and back to cooler weather. It usually gets very hot in August and September where I live. So I'm looking forward to cooler weather in Fall and Winter.
-
August is basically back to school month for me in my opinion for those people both YOUNG & OLD, its weird though because i think august doesnt have any holidays on that month but so does june (I Think) but anyways its kinda weird for us over here in florida because school starts on the 10th rather than the 20th like it used to. maybe they're just getting it in earlier lol that and maybe because a lot of people dont take school as serious anymore which is sad. i hope school still lets out on the 10th of june though that would be awesome! :)
-
August is okay with me, I am a retired educator and we always went back to school in late August, so I kinda got my summer stuff out the way during the early part of summer. Now I substitute and yes school is still starting in late August, so I am basically on the same schedule in retirement that I was when I worked full time; except now I have a choice when to accept an assignment so it's all good. I prefer August, much better then winter!
-
August is my birth month, but I dislike it because of two things.. One is the heat, I do not like the heat and would prefer colder or cooler months.. Second it always reminds me that it was the last month of summer vacation when I was a kid..
-
For me, August is a month of many relatives having birthdays. I like the weather and kicking back enjoying it.
-
I actually have always loved August because my birthday is in August :) But I always hated the going back to school aspect of August. It's a double-edge sword.
-
My emotions of the month have nothing to do with my childhood experience of the month. I'm kind of neutral. I like that it is still hot, but to me it is a sign that it won't be that long until it starts to cool off, and I hate the cold.
-
August is always hot and very humid in my neck of the woods.

I love August! It's the month I was born!
-
I'm famous to attempting to cancel the month of August because I'm not a summer person and August is too warm for me. I've never quite figured out how to cancel this month.
This year I have central air and we've had a few August rain storms so I'm happier than I usually am. I can deal with it as long as the heat doesn't "roll over" into September.
:heart:
-
August really signals the end of the summer. Unfortunately fall is right around the corner.
-
I think of hot weather, summer, me being busy at work.
-
i don't really have a preference but i really enjoy june and it's not just because it is my birthday month. some of my cousins were born in august so i have a lot of birthday parties to go to which i am looking forward to. it's always exciting.
-
Happy August :rose:
-
its ok...its my birthday month and my sons,,,and the kids go back to school and summer is almost over
-
August means summers almost over and kids are headed back to school.
-
August is one of my most favorite months because it is usually still hot and sunny in the daytime so I don't have to put on a coat or boots or mittens or scarves and our local farmers market still has corn and lots of great fruits and veggies to eat.
-
August is ok but fall is coming soon and i do not like it.
