When Spring Has Finally Sprung

It feels too good to be true.

Spring is one of the greatest seasons of the year. The wind in your hair, prospering plants, chirping birds flying about, and the thought of summer just around the corner. How could someone not adore it? Here are a few things that occur when spring has finally sprung into action...

Style

It is clear when you walk into a store in March that spring is closing in. All the stores are filled with all sorts of pastel colors and paisley patterns. These colors and patterns are much more calm and light compared to the dark and warm fashion in the winter season. Denim is also a huge hit once spring areas. Denim jackets, skirts, and capris are all the rage. Floral patterns, as well, are a given due to all the blossoming plants.

People begin to care more about their lawns

Once all of that pesky snow has melted, small blades of grass that were once green emerge. The early months of spring are important to people who want those blades to go back to being green. Fertilizer, garden hoses, lawn mowers, racks, shovels and more are all out in yards trying to improve the appearance. For those who care but are slightly incapable of lawn care maintenance, there are several businesses who provided services to upgrade your lawn.

Smell

With spring comes an interesting smell. Some days it is the smell after a fresh rain. Others it is the crisp air that isn’t too cold. An earthy, dirt smell even appears and it is magnificent. Winter has no smell, so once spring arrives your senses are heightened and truly fall in love with every scent.

People start cleaning everything

Spring is a time to clean just about everything - it is a great thing. It’s the time to get rid of the jeans, tennis shoes, and whatever else that hasn’t been worn in awhile. Even if you absolutely love it and feel like you cannot bear to part with it, if you haven’t worn it in four years, thrown it out. Or donate! Donating your old stuff is a good tax break, too. This season is also when people realize summer is not too far away and kick their workouts and diet back in gear. Oh, and don’t forget about the cars. Be sure to get to the car wash early, folks.

The days get longer

Spring gives you a glimpse of the long, warm summer nights. And it is so glorious. The days stay light longer and seem to last just a little longer, too. Granted, there are not extra hours in a day during spring even when we need them desperately. The allusion is still nice though.

Birds and blossoms

Waking up to lovely, little birds chirping at your window is a clear indication that spring is coming or already arrived. They fill our trees with new nests and fly about the air, just as excited with the weather as we are. The grass, leaves, and flowers all begin to sprout and blossom, making the spring season very picturesque.

Urge to be outside

GO OUTSIDE!!! This season is very persuasive when it comes to that idea.

Spring bring many enjoyable things such as the nice weather, blooming plants, growing grass, and the tiny creatures roaming about. The season overall has a lightheartedness to it and that’s why it is so great. I don’t think it is just me, but with spring time comes an inexplicable joy.

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.
