10 Ways To Get Ready For Spring

Hello lovely readers! As we’ve been seeing warmer weather, it has me thinking about the arrival of spring. So, what does that mean? It’s time to de-clutter our spaces and open our hearts to the rest of our new year! So here are ten things to do to get ready for spring!

1. Clean out those closets.

It’s time for a change, and that means whether it’s a shoe closet, coat closet, or your main closet, some of it needs to go! So get in there and if you can’t remember the last time you wore it or can’t see yourself wearing it, get rid of it!

2. Give it to the people who need it.

Now this part is important! Just because you have no need for it anymore, if it’s still in good shape, someone else can more than likely use it! So take it to your local shelter or give it to family as hand me downs. It will bring you joy to see someone else get the use out of it that you may not have.

3. Clean your house.

Now when I say this, I don’t mean just dust. Take the time to deep clean, and when you finish, it will look like a brand new home and hopefully smell like it to!

4. Get outside.

As a childcare employee, I have tons of kids who say that they want to go home and play on their electronics. Make sure to get yourself or your kids out in this warmer weather! Find a park to walk at, play catch, or swing on a playground. It’s a great family or friend activity and will help you get a little exercise too!

5. Work hard.

For a lot of us, spring can only mean one thing; summer is next! So take this time to buckle down in your classes, your job, your sport, etc. You will feel the effects of this when you get your report card, paycheck, or stats. This will also help summer come faster if you’re no longer spending your days counting down! But if you can fit a nap in there, DO IT.

6. Make that change.

Is there something that you’ve been dreaming of trying out for a while now? Don’t wait even longer and spend the time wishing you had done it. I know it seems like it’s never the right time, but if you think that way, it never will be. Do it now.

7. Find a new hobby.

So there isn’t a specific dream for you; start from scratch! Start a garden, cut back on sweets, read a book a month, join a club. Find a hobby that speaks to your heart and keep it up!

8. Visit your family.

Some of us live in different cities, states, or even countries. Don’t let that stop you! It’s important to spend time with these people, they are a part of you, wiser than you, and love you; don’t forget your roots.

9. Change up your look.

Get a new hairstyle, paint your nails, or change your wardrobe. Even if it’s a small change, it will help you to feel refreshed and ready to take on the rest of your year.

10. Take it all in.

The days continue to go quicker and quicker, so don’t take any of this time for granted. Do what makes you happiest, and don’t forget to step back and smell the flowers every once in a while.

Happy Spring!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
