April (Snow) Showers (Hopefully) Bring May Flowers

If April showers bring May flowers, let's hope that April snow showers do the same. For those of us in the North and Midwest, spring has peeked its head out a few times in the past couple months, but it seems to be feeling a little shy this year. So as the month of May draws near, all we can do is hope all those tulips will finally emerge from their cozy green leaves and stick around for us to enjoy. In honor of warmer weather on the horizon, boosted moods and the long-awaited arrival of May flowers comes this bucket list to celebrate the fresh, new month of May.

1. Listen to the Happy Folk playlist on Spotify to celebrate being able to sit in the sun and smell the roses.

What is it about the warm weather that just makes everything better?


2. Visit a farmer's market.

Green grass, picnic blanket, picnic basket and food.

3. Have a picnic.

With your newly purchased farmer's market food, of course!

4. Eat fresh fruits and veggies.

You've probably got that covered if you followed steps 2 & 3.

5. Go for a walk, jog or run.

Save the treadmill for rainy days and get a breath of fresh air.

6. Plant a flower or a tree.

Contribute all that springtime beauty!

7. Create a summer bucket list.

It will be here before you know it:)

8. Read a book outside.

If you haven't caught on, go outside.

9. Take a picture of a different flower every day...

Everywhere you go, look for a different type.

10. ...or take a picture of the same flower every day.

Watch its progression!

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.
