11 Reasons To Be Excited For Spring

Personally, spring is my favorite season of the year. When the cold winter months move into the budding of fresh flowers and the chirping of birds in the early morning, I am always mu

ch more excited to start my day. Whether it’s getting up at 7:00am for work or staying on campus until 8:00pm for my night class, it seems that my mood is drastically changed when the spring weather begins. Why am I writing this in February you ask? Because it is currently 75 degrees out...on February 21st...WHAT. My heart is so happy. The following are just a few very important reasons to love life even that much more in the months of spring.

1. Ummmm hello....LESS CLOTHING

Ok so like I am all for comfy chunky knit sweaters, leggings, and thigh high boots...but have you ever worn a sundress and sandals? Completely freeing and so much more FUN.


2. More Daytime Sunlight

So many more hours of sunlight in a day, meaning more hours to go for a hike, walk your dog, bask in the sun, daydream, and smile. Did I mention how much I love the springtime?


3. Only a few months until SUMMER

Nothing gets me more excited than having off for nearly 4 months...so obviously, the anticipation of summer is another thing that makes the springtime so great.


4. Spring Break Y’all

I don’t think I have to say much else.


5. Bathing Suit Shopping

Shopping is always one of my favorite hobbies, so any excuse to buy something new. Nothing makes me feel more confident than killing it in a new suit. A bathing suit that is. Work it GURLLLL.


6. Extra Summer Motivation

Every year I set a goal for myself, whether it’s working on my fitness, eating healthier, or saving up for a summer trip. So, when spring hits I push myself that much harder to reach my goals.


7. No rush to go INSIDE

I could be outside for hours if it’s sunny and 75. A slight breeze. UGH. Hurry up.


8. Everything’s New and PRETTY

Flowers. Oh my GOD how I love them. Everything looks incredible in the spring.


9. Spring SPORTS (talk about a HOME RUN)

Batter up.


10. Spring Cleaning

I dare you to name 5 things more satisfying than having all the windows open to clean out your winter messes.


11. Sun is HAPPY so you’re HAPPY

Obviously bad things can happen regardless of the season, and they do. But every morning I wake up and it’s spring I’m just that much happier.


Obviously these are only some of the reasons why the springtime is my favorite season of them all, but I couldn’t be more excited for March 20th. I hope you’re just as excited as I am.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
