5 Things You'll Want To Do When It's Finally Spring

Winter is NOT coming.

5 Things You'll Want To Do When It's Finally Spring
Halle Blum

If you live anywhere that has a brutal winter, you know the sigh of relief you let out when you see that it is above 30 degrees on any given day. For me, when it's balmy outside, let's say a ripe 45 degrees, my whole day is changed. From the clothing I wear to the attitude I have about the day, everything is different.

Here are five things you'll want to do when it's finally warm enough to only wear one sweatshirt and a jacket, instead of seven.

1. Walk to class

This simple pleasure is something we take for granted in the fall months. There is something to be said for when is not only warm enough to not wear a coat, but also warm enough that your face does not go numb from outside exposure. Your uber account will be thankful when the warmth comes around, no longer do you need to take those four-minute car rides, you can face the 50-degree seven-minute walk.

2. Wear sunglasses

If you are a New Yorker, you may not consider this a spring, only, privilege. If you wear sunglasses during the dark, cold months of winter, you should consider doing less. But if you wait until those bright March days, you will be thrilled when you can finally pull those babies off the shelf and onto your face.

3. Get out of bed in the morning

When it is under 15 degrees, it is incredibly hard to leave your cozy, warm bed in the morning. Not only does leaving your bed indicate your day starting, but it also comes with a burst of cold air, often leaving you shivering, and wishing to get back under the covers. In the spring, when you wake up to birds chirping and sunshine, the day seems much easier to tackle.

4. Leave your house and finally go out

In the winter months, often times we find ourselves settling for Thursday night Netflix marathons, instead of going to that frat party, or bar. We settle due to the fact that we are simply too cold to fathom putting on a sleeveless shirt, and bracing the outdoors. Springtime comes with being much more social, merely because you aren't afraid of hypothermia or frostbite.

5. Smile because you finally have feeling back in your face

And lastly, we smile because we can open our front doors without a gust of cold air so strong, it often leaves us feeling inferior and numb. The first feeling of sunshine on your face will inevitably leave you with a grin from ear to ear, winter is over, and summer is coming.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
