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!

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
