5 Reasons We Need To Love Spring

Spring is always the last to be loved out of the seasons, but it needs recognition

One question you might ask when getting to know someone new is, "What's your favorite season?" Most people I have met say summer or winter. Summer because it is always warm and winter because they love the snow and the winter holidays. I, however, tend to prefer fall, the vibrant warm colors of the changing leaves, the smell of cinnamon, and the need to wear layers, are the things that I find special. But I feel that spring is highly under-appreciated. After a long winter, a little bit of warmth is just what we need. These are the top 5 reasons why we need to love spring.

1. April showers bring May flowers

How could you not love the budding flowers and the growing trees that have been dormant for so long? Winter spans from December through March, but the leaves have fallen well back in November. The opportunity to see the new growth in the budding trees and rising flowers, is just a friendly reminder that life moves on and we can continue to grow.

2. Spring forward

Sure losing an hour of sleep might be tasking, but it brings more light to our days. It can be surprising to see sunlight after 7:30 PM, after living in darkness for so long. For me, it gets me excited for evening cookouts out on the patio and nights spent around a campfire. Longer days, or sunlight, just means that there is more time to accomplish things or venture out to try new activities.

3. Easter candy

Sure all of the holidays bring a special kind of treat into the stores, but the pastel chocolate eggs are something I look forward to all year. Now that Halloween and Christmas, even Valentine's Day, are long gone, I can break open a new bag of chocolates.

4. Spring break

As a college student, this time period is the last moment of freedom and relaxation before the last crunch of finals. Whether it is a crazy montage of days in Florida or just a catch up week at home, spring break is a time to revitalize your life. All the papers and projects that have begun to stack up can finally be addressed and organized into importance. Spring break is also a great reminder that school is coming to an end.

5. Spring cleaning

That sense of rebirth and growth in the atmosphere is the best motivation to spring clean, either your home or your life. A light dusting here and there is always wise, but when was the last time you mopped your floor or organized your closet? The little things that have been piling up for months or the things that have been stashed out of sight, need to be put back into place. A spring cleaning will not only make your home look better, but make you feel better. Nothing like taking away the stress of the little things.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
