10 Ways to Appreciate the Transition from Winter to Spring

10 Ways to Appreciate the Transition from Winter to Spring

1. Take out your ear-buds and enjoy the sound of the sorry birds that didn’t migrate (or that came back much too early).

2. Wear rain boots so that the beautiful sludge that occupies every square inch of sidewalk doesn’t woefully ruin your suede, leather, or etc. Hunters are much more equipped for a season of slush than are fryes. 

3. In need of a glimpse of better times ahead? Keep your eye out for the patches of blue sky that fleetingly pattern the otherwise glaring gray cloud cover. 

4. Walk into the winter-spring wind so it blows back your hair and you are momentarily part of a dramatic T-Swift music video on your way to class. (ALSO don't forget to watch her new Style music video!)

5.Start dreaming about summer because it’s never too soon to do so and because daydreams are always recommended.

6. Outsmart the weather with LAYERS, LAYERS, LAYERS. What starts out as a sunny morning filled with bird song can quickly turn into a bone-chilling, winter snow storm—or worse, what looks like a sunny day can be horribly chilly in reality. The moral of the story: layers. Wear a light shirt with a sweater and a jacket and you’ll be prepared for everything.

7. Drink tea! Whether you drink it for its herbal goodness or to keep your hands from turning into ice cubes, tea is always a great idea.

8. Glittens! …or Moves, whatever you want to call them. Sporting mitten-gloves is a great tactic for keeping your digits warm while allowing for the always-essential texting mobility for in-between class conversations.

9. Wear fuzzy socks inside your stylish footwear. No one will know that you are committing a major fashion faux pas… but your toes will and they will thank you for it.

10. Become best friends with your knit headband. It’s not a hat, so you aren’t conceding to the fact that winter still hasn’t just left already, but your ears will stay warm and your hair won’t end up in a total knot because the freezing February wind decided to frolic in your locks.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
