1. Sunshine

Yes, I know it generally rains for a good portion of spring too, but there's just something so warm and inviting about the sun that makes me look forward to all the fun/relaxing things I can do in the summer (in between working, of course; we are adults who need to pay rent after all).

2. "Longer" days

This could technically fall under the last category, but I'm in charge of this listicle. Anyways, more daylight means increased productivity. I enjoy looking out the window at 7:30 pm and thinking "It's still light outside?"

3. More sun = more serotonin

Seasonal blues? I don't know her anymore.

4. Babies

'Tis the season for babies to be born! Kittens, puppies, chicks, bunnies, ducklings... need I say more?

5. Flowers

Flowers offer up some much-needed color to the world after a dark and dreary winter, some help out the bee population, and they smell nice too! I'm willing to deal with the annoying effects of my pollen allergy as long as I have flowers.

6. Wardrobe switch

Goodbye, sweaters and boots; I'm trading you in for crop tops and sunglasses. It's not you, it's me. I'll see you in the fall.

7. More activity choices

Since the weather is nicer, there's more things to do and places to go!

8. Never a better time to feel like a college student

I don't know about you, but I never feel more like a college student than when I'm surrounded by my fellow students throwing frisbees, soaking up the sun, and just enjoying the day. It's just a stereotypical feeling that really accentuates the college experience for me which in turn makes me more motivated to tackle some schoolwork.

9. Farmers markets

Time to break out my picnic basket and clear my Saturdays, baby!

10. It's a time of new beginnings

OK, there's a lot of different times of the year where people like to start fresh (New Years, a new school year, etc.), but spring is the rebirth of things after they've been hiding away all winter! Now is the perfect time to get out there and take initiative! After all, there is more daylight now.
