6 Reasons Why I Prefer Any Season Over Spring

Who knows what Mother Nature is gonna throw our way. There may be 85 degree weather that forces me to pull out shorts and sandals, that turns into a tornado warning by 3 pm that very same day.

6 Reasons Why I Prefer Any Season Over Spring

In This Article:

April showers bring May flowers...

and pollen

and finals

and summer internship applications,

and the list goes on.

This time of year is the epitome of stress. Not only are college students frantically preparing for the end of the year, but everything outside of school seems to be set at fast-forward as well. Here are 6 reasons why I spend all of spring wishing it over with.

1. My respiratory system shuts completely off

From about end of March, until beginning of May, I become a mouth-breather who goes through nearly a roll of toilet paper a day. Meanwhile I draw uncomfortable stares from all of my classmates when I sneeze back-to-back during the most important part of the lecture. Don't ask if you see me walking around campus wearing an allergen-induced surgical mask.

2. I cannot make time for anyone.

Whether I am filling out an application for an organization position, studying for midterms and starting to prep for finals, or coordinating my work schedule, this time of the semester feels like it's going at about 90 in a 50, and there's no slowing down. The worst part is, there's no one around me to ease the tension because all of my closest friends are just as stressed as I am.

3. The weather is a toss-up

Who knows what Mother Nature is gonna throw our way. There may be 85 degree weather that forces me to pull out shorts and sandals, that turns into a tornado warning by 3 pm that very same day. If there's one thing I have learned in college it's to always carry my umbrella and rain coat during second semester.

4. Laundry, Laundry, Laundry

And due to Reason #3, I have so much more laundry when I am changing clothes two or three times a day because of humidity and torrential downpours.

5. Seniors graduate

As the year comes to a close, you brace yourself for saying goodbye to a class of individuals who were some of the people that welcomed you into college as a freshman. Additionally, you realize that you're one semester closer to being in that position yourself. This equates to adulthood, which realistically, no one is every ready for.

6. No Christmas AND no Birthday

Need I say more? No gifts is no fun.

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.
