Getting Springy With It

A look at Spring in Oregon though the eyes of A California girl.

Getting Springy With It
Dakota Gonzales

Spring has definitely sprung! Winter is over! Who knew it could get that cold - obviously not me. Being from Southern California and now living in Southern Oregon will do that to you. So now that I’m done shivering and wearing five jackets, I can wear cute spring outfits and sunglasses. So, to celebrate my first real Spring, I thought I would share the best things I’ve become accustomed to so far.

1. Florals

People really enjoy wearing florals and I am so down. Count me in for cute floral shirts, skirts and anything with pretty flowers on it. The flowers and trees on campus are blooming and it’s so beautiful. I enjoy walking to class and taking the long way because of the flowers.

2. The spring pastel colors

Neutrals and neon, my friends! They are back and better than ever. I love the pastels endlessly. It’s such a good way to celebrate spring and embrace the great weather. Wearing bright colors always puts me in a good mood, too. Getting my nails done in pinks, purples and bright blues is how I celebrate the pastels.


3. The barbecues

On here for a very good reason. We cannot forget the delicious food. Barbecuing on a warm spring day is the best. Having a nice, cold lemonade and sitting on a lawn chair are musts. Pasta salad, fruit, and hamburgers are always staples as well.

4. Everything is green


Literally. Everything. I know I mentioned the flowers earlier, but even the trees here look greener to me. Everything is blossoming and it’s amazing to see it day by day. The leaves are coming back in full force and I can’t wait to see them every day. The grass is green, the leaves are green and this is the perfect backdrop for a spring day.

5. The aura in the air


The air is fresh and it’s sunny. There is always a cool breeze which makes the warm day the best. What more can you ask for? It’s amazing to be able to go lay down on the grass outside and enjoy the sun. Breathing in the fresh air and basking is the best way to pass time between classes.

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.

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.

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.
