Spring breathes new life into the world around us.

Birds are chirping. Flowers are blooming. Love is in the air. When spring hits, it’s awfully hard to feel down in the dumps!

Here's 7 Reasons why I absolutely love spring:

1. Spring Break

Who doesn't love spring break and spending time with friends or family? Skiing, going to the beach, even just going home and relaxing and sleeping in.

2. Perfect weather

Bike riding, jogging, long walks, and best of all, eating on the patio at your favorite restaurants without freezing or sweating.

3. Sundresses and shorts

No more winter coats, finally!

4. Green grass and blooming flowers

Whether it be the plethora of blooming flowers, aroma of fresh cut grass, or sun beating down, you're bound to finally love spending time outside.

5. Sick season is over

So long, flu, cold, and infection filled months. Allergies that come with spring are annoying but hey, at least they aren't contagious!

6. Driving with the windows down

Pull out that favorite playlist of yours, roll the windows down, and shamelessly belt out those lyrics!

7. Summer is right around the corner!

Spring means summer is so close you can almost taste it! A few months, final exams, and summer will be here before we know it.

Warm sunshine, green grass, endless beautiful flowers, and countless adventures and road trips, get ready to say, "Hello Spring!"

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
