I don't know about you, but I'm ready for spring! Stop teasing, Mother Nature. I have had too many slips on ice, runny noses, and overbearing coughs for this season.
If you want to get pumped for spring with me, keep reading!
1. No more layers!
Everyone understands the struggle of needing to bundle up before braving the chilly winter weather. Undershirt? Check. Sweater? Check. Socks? Scarf? Gloves? Check, check, and check. Too much to worry about, in my opinion. And then there's the impending doom of taking it all off once you reach shelter from the cold. Ugh!
With the arrival of 70 degree weather, you'll never have to worry about begging your significant other for their jacket.
As Michael Kelso once wisely said:
Seriously though, I'm ready for sunglasses, sandals, and sundresses.
2. Outdoor concerts.
Don't get me wrong; all concerts are awesome! But there's something special about lounging outside on the lawn with your friends while listening to some awesome tunes. There is a lot more room to dance and let loose, too!
3. Driving with the windows down.
If you told me you had never driven around with your friends, blasting your favorite song with the windows rolled down, I would call you a liar. And if you truly haven't, you really should! Enjoy the heat and soak up those rays before they become too hot to handle.
4. Rebirth of nature.
Say "hello" butterflies and gorgeous flowers because all the beautiful life we lost to the extreme cold is making a comeback! While the crunch of autumn leaves under your boots can be a pretty satisfying sound, soft flower petals on the sidewalk are a welcomed sight! Nowadays, it can be easy for us to neglect our environment. Earth Day is April 22, folks. Give back to our outstanding planet by planting some trees here and there. I'm sure the earth would appreciate it!
5. Daylight Savings Time!
OK, this is pretty self- explanatory... who doesn't like an extra hour of sleep? I mean, um, productivity.
This year's daylight savings time is Sunday, March 13 at 2 a.m.
6. Spring Break
This probably could have gone at the top of the list, but I think it fits just as well here. SPRING BREAK! The little break us college students receive about midway through spring semester. This vacation is welcomed by many and seized by everyone. Usually, it is the first time since winter break that we go back home to visit loved ones. And by loved ones, I mean our pets. And our family, too!
One thing I must ask of you, fellow college students, is that you make smart decisions that won't result in future negative repercussions. Be smart, be safe, and have a rad time!
All in all, there are a lot of reasons you should be looking forward to Spring 2016. I know I am!
