Spring has sprung!

5 Of The Best Parts Of Spring

That time has officially come upon us. Spring has sprung. Hopefully for the places that experience an actual winter, that means that Mother Nature has finished her cold torture and is taking a break for a little to prepare for her heated torture. Lucky for us, that means we get a nice break too. A couple months of just right temperatures, light breezes and things all around coming to life. With the coming seasonal change, I decided to list some of the best parts of Spring.


1. The Weather

As I said before. Spring brings a change in the weather (if you're lucky). It's the season right after winter and right before summer. It's the meat between the bread slices of freezing and sweaty hot. It comes with the hopefulness that nice weather is here to stay and that snow and ice has been officially kicked off the show. Spring weather is literally the most perfect weather. Light breezes, warm temperatures, sun. It's not too cold and not to hot. It eases us into the melting heat that is summer.

2. The Flowers

If you know me you know I love flowers. And nature. And anything outside. Irregardless, the flowers are one of my favorite parts of spring. Especially tulips. I love seeing the tulips pop up out of their underground home they hibernated in all fall and winter til the time was right. It's like a wonderful greeting from nature letting us all know it's time for the sun to hang out and the father snow to GTFO. And they are so pretty. Brightening everything around us up.

3. Ice Cream

Springtime always means the majority of the ice cream places that don't stay open all year long, will start opening their doors and firing up those ice cream makers. Now I am a firm believer that ice cream is good all year around, despite the temperature outside, You can always catch me with a cone in my hand in 0 degree weather and again n 80 degree weather. However, a nice cold ice cream cone is so much more refreshing and enjoyable when it's a little warmer outside. It's also nice because since it's not super hot outside yet, you don't have to race the melting ice cream and temporarily freeze your brain in the process. Take it slow, one lick at a time. There is no rush during the spring.

4. Spring Wardrobe

Even though I'm a big fan of the fall and winter wardrobe, I do love me some pretty, flowy spring dresses. Best time to bust those puppies out is spring! Also gotta love those open toed shoes and sandals too.

5. The Smell

Spring smells absolutely amazing and you don't know what I'm talking about then you should step outside on your front lawn after it's just been mowed. The greatest smell on earth right there. Fresh cut grass, flowers, spring breeze. Sure my allergies act up really bad in the spring but it's definitely a fair trade off for these fantastic smells.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
