11 Symptoms Of Spring Fever

Winter days can be excruciatingly long, but once March begins to preview the sunny spring days ahead, everybody experiences these spring fever symptoms.

1. The urge to be active

The beginning of spring reminds us that there is a sun after all, but with this knowledge, comes the reminder that our bulky sweaters and scarves will soon be traded in for bathing suits and tank tops. Technically the new year rung in a couple of months ago, but January and February were trial months, right?

2. The need to drive with the windows down

It's been a long time since we've been able to roll down our windows without getting pelted by snowflakes, so we're going to take advantage.

3. Sudden bursts of productivity


Spring cleaning isn't just an expression; it's a March ritual. As mentioned above, January and February were trial months, so now is the perfect time to get organized.

4. The new love for all-things nature

Who knew there was grass under the snow this whole time? Also, have you ever seen a color more beautiful than green?

5. The inclination to pick up some new hobbies

We all want to get outside, so why not make an excuse to do so? Maybe you were never a big reader or writer, but now that you can do it on a picnic bench in the great outdoors, maybe you'll give it a try.

6. The reconstruction of your wardrobe

We're finally going to need some lighter attire to replace our intense snow gear!

7. Claustrophobia caused by the indoors

Working or going to school inside feels like torture. Looking out a window just reminds you of the freedom that you can only beg for.

8. The serious addiction to sunlight

It doesn't matter who you are; in the spring, you become the sun's needy girlfriend.

9. Random spurs of kindness

Something about that sunshine makes us all a little less irritable.

10. The inability to focus on “real work”

After spending months trapped inside, why should we be doing anything less than having fun?

11. And finally, the intense longing for summer

This one is pretty self-explanatory. Hang in there all of you warm-weather lovers; we'll be there soon.

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.

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.

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.
