Spring is my favorite season. The warm but not too warm weather, the sounds of nature, and being able to wear comfortable clothes are all perks of spring. The first day of spring just passed. In honor of that, here are some great things to do during this season.
1. Go on a hike.
Hopefully you don't fall like this, but a nice hike can be rejuvenating and can totally clear your mind. It can make you realize how small you really are when you see a beautiful view.2. Take a walk in a park.
When the sun is shining, it's great to get some exercise and still enjoy the weather. Bring your dog, your friends or family members to have a fun day in the park!
3. Picnic with friends.
After taking that hike or walking in the park, you can build up an appetite. Grab a basket, fill it with food and drinks, bring a big comfy blanket and set up on a nice patch of grass.
4. Have a photo shoot outside.
With the days lasting longer and the trees getting their leaves back, it's the perfect time for a photo shoot. Put on a cute springy outfit with bright colors, head outside with your camera and start snapping. Who knows—maybe they'll come out good and you won't need a filter on Instagram.
5. Vacation.
Sprang break forever, am I right? There are so many spots to go for break, and college is the best time to visit them. Just be careful and make sure to bring your sunscreen.
6. Go to a farmer's market.
If you like to use fresh veggies in your meals, head to the farmer's market and pick some up. It's usually not expensive, and you know exactly where your food is coming from. What's better than that?
7. Go swimming.
If you live in a warmer state, open up your pool and take a dip. As for me, springtime in New York isn't warm enough for a swim. Take advantage of the weather and start tanning!
8. Visit an amusement park.
Amusement parks start opening during the spring, and tickets will most likely be discounted because summer hasn't arrived yet. Get that discount and go on as many roller coasters as you want.
9. Spend time with family.
Spring fever will make you want to spend time with the people you love. Arrange get-togethers and share some laughs. It's so worth it.
10. Host a barbecue.
Everyone loves a good barbecue. Fire up the grill and have some friends over. It'll definitely be memorable.
11. Try a new DIY project.
DIY projects are a disaster from beginning to end for me. I'm not creative or crafty enough to do any project by myself. But if you are creative and crafty, try something new! Refer to your Pinterest board for inspiration.
12. Enjoy yourself.
Just remember to smile. Summer is almost here!
