5 Things You Can Do To Prepare For Spring

I don't care what the groundhog says, it's time for spring

5 Things You Can Do To Prepare For Spring
Islamicity

Springtime is just around the corner and I don’t care what anyone (or any groundhog) says. If you’re like me and struggle to adjust to different weather patterns (or maybe you just wanted it to be cold for a little longer because you had some cute winter outfits that never got to see the light of day!) then I have some suggestions to make the transition from spring to winter just a little bit easier.

1. Clean out/rearrange your closet

I know it’s hard but getting rid of clothes or even just reorganizing the ones you already have if you have attachment issues like me is a great way to feel just a little bit better and a little bit more springy than before. Pro tip: put all your sweaters in the back portion of your closet and bring forward all your springtime clothes to get you extra in the mood for some sunshine

2. Eat spring fruits and vegetables

Now I know that I’m no champion when it comes to eating my fruits and vegetables but with springtime coming around I may have to consider trying some springtime foods to get me in the mood. Strawberries, asparagus, radishes, rhubarb, spinach, artichokes and peas are all great fresh spring time foods!

3. Spend more time in the great outdoors

After being cooped up all winter with nothing but the heats of our laptops to keep us warm, it would do us some good to go outside and breathe in the fresh (for now) air. Studying, playing catch (or fetch with our furry legged friends), or even just sitting are great ways to enjoy the sunshine that was hidden away all winter long.

4. Do a mental check

The winter season can sometimes be tough on us so it’s important that every once in a while we do a mental check just to see where we are in terms of our emotions. The spring season is a great time to renew our mentality and look forward to the season ahead.

5. Look at pictures of baby animals born in the spring

Everyone knows that baby animals are born in the spring time so now that it is spring that means there is going to be no shortage of cute puppies and kittens to pet all season long.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
