The 10 Best (And Worst) Things About Spring

Ah, spring. Everyone looks forward to it after the frigid winter. There's finally life outside, and yet there's more life than you would sometimes like. So, here's the best and worst events of spring.

The Worst

1. Bugs

Whether it's cute caterpillars before they become butterflies or that annoying buzzing sound in your ear, bugs are the worst part of spring. Forget about going anywhere with flowers; the bugs are there too, buzzing around and ruining your buzz of spring.

2. Pollen

Yellow dust that follows you everywhere. You want to wash your car? Might as well forget about it until June. There's not point when it's going to be tinted yellow the next day. Don't even get me started on allergies!

3. Tourists

Being from a tourist town, spring break can be the worst. There are new people everywhere. More cars, more traffic, more people, more anger and more road rage. Is it necessary to read the map every two seconds, or could you move to the side and actually make your way across the street?

4. Heat

We didn't like the cold in winter, but once it starts to get warm, it stays warm. And then it starts to get hot and uncomfortable. If you haven't made it home for spring break, then you don't have any clothes for it, and nobody likes to sweat that much.

5. Trips

Family vacations. Sometimes they're fun, and sometimes being stuck in the back of the car with your siblings makes you want to stab yourself in the eyes for entertainment.

The Best

1. Warm sunny days

Although sometimes the heat can become too much, nothing beats that perfect day with a nice breeze and clear skies. Perfect weather for the beach, a hammock or any outdoor activity.

2. Spring break

Nothing beats a week off of school in the middle of the semester. You've just made it past midterms and now you finally get some time to go home, get some home cooked food and see your friends.


3. Pretty campuses

Although pollen is a pest, walking through a blooming campus is one of the prettiest things there is in college. With flowers blooming on trees, bushes and in the ground, everywhere is color and happiness.


4. Adventures

There's finally the weather where if you see something on a road trip, you can take a minute to go on an adventure -- whether the adventure is around campus or going through a new field of wildflowers.

5. One step closer to summer

Nothing beats the fact that spring is one step closer to summer. You've made it through three quarters of a school year, and that last quarter is the only thing separating you from the vacations and tanning time!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
