10 Reasons Why Spring and Arabs Don’t Mix

Oh, spring! Spring is essentially just a really bad version of summer. Nobody ever knows what the eff is happening, especially Arabs. Here’s why us Arabs and spring do NOT mix…

 

 

 

 

The weather can never decide what the hell it wants to do

 

 

It’s hot then it’s cold, it’s yes then it’s no, it’s in then it’s out! Stop being a freakin’ Katy Perry song ya weather please. #bipolar

 

 

 

 

WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO WEAR?

 

 

Should I wear half-sleeves? Should I wear long-sleeves? Ugh, what if I have a child? What should I make them wear?

 

 

 

 

Where did all these bugs come from???

 

 

 

‘Tis the season for saraseer, 3ankaboots and naml to come out and play, and for us to hide and cry.

 

 

 

 

Allergies, allergies, allergies

 

 

With our poor immune systems, spring time is translated into allergy time. Tanning and partying are automatically replaced with time in bed sleeping.

 

 

 

You absolutely cannot travel/plan ahead

 

 

Again, dat bipolar weather tho! Your weekend in Sokhna, Sahel or wherever you want to go will never go as planned because of that 3asefah that just happened or the rain that just happened and tafa7et el magarey. Ugh!

 

 

 

Is it seyana time for the AC? Should I keep using the fan? What is happening?

 

 

Begad, I could never get my AC game right! And when I do, it’s time to get seyana! *turns the fan on*

 

 

 

You’ve got to start getting back into formet el Sahel…

 

 

 

Everyone suddenly remembers that they need to get in shape in spring. Formet el Sahel starts as gyms quickly pack and diets strongly trend. People become obsessed with their summer body goals to the point that it becomes annoying and irritating.

 

 

 

…and shaving your legs again

 

 

Do we even need to explain?

 

 

 

 

The humidity! Enough said ya gama3a!!!

 

 

 

 

But begad, spring sucks, wake us up when it’ summer, please!
