We have finally reached that time of year where all the winter snow melts and we see a rebirth of all the plant and wildlife. Meteorologist predicted that this past winter would be the warmest winter in many years, however, it turned out to be one of the most bizarre winters as we saw brutal winter storms effect most of the country. Even the areas that don’t normally see snow were affected in some way. Considering how unpredictably snowy this past winter was, it is safe to assume that a lot of people are anticipating this year’s spring season. Here is a list of 5 things that will help you make the most out of this year’s spring season:


1. Prep Your Car.

There is no doubt that the winter can take its toll on our cars with all the salt, ice, and extreme cold. This is why you need to get your car ready for the spring season. Considering that spring is also known as the season of rain, it is recommended that you change your windshield wipers as the winter ice can damage them and render them useless in the heavy spring rain. Also, the extreme cold causes our car tires to lose air pressure so you should check the pressure of all your tires and fill them with air if needed. Most gas stations charge up to a dollar in quarters to use their air machines, however, some gas stations like Get Go allow you to fill your tires for free. Following these simple recommendations before the Spring Season is fully underway can help save you from a lot of trouble on the road.


2. Coordinate An Outdoor Workout Routine.

One the best about the Spring season is the fact that provides some of the best weather to exercise outside. It's not too hot or too cold, which makes for perfect running weather. Considering the fact that running on a treadmill can have a harmful effect on your legs and undeniably boring, Spring is possibly the best time of year to go for a run around the city. Exercising outside during the Spring season also provides a sense of motivation that you cannot get in your basement, so odds are you’ll get more done exercising outside than inside.


3. Plan A Spring Break Trip.

Possibly the most popular things for young adults to do during Spring break is to take a Spring break trip to Florida, Cancun, or somewhere else warm. These trips are where a lot of good memories that you will reflect on when you and your friends are older are made. While it may seem as if these trips can be expensive, doing enough research and planning ahead can make them surprisingly affordable.

4. Plant A Garden.

While the winter season is often affiliated with being calm and quiet, it can also be one of the most stressful times of the year. From dealing with the holiday season to dealing with the winter conditions causing damage to our cars and houses, the Winter Season can us a lot of grief. This is why you should consider starting a garden once the spring season is underway. Planting and maintaining a garden can be very therapeutic and rid you of some of the stresses life threw at you during the winter season. Not to mention it will help your living environment, whether it’s a house or an apartment, match the abundance of colors that comes with the new plant life that thrives during the Spring season.

5. Clean Your Garage.

The Spring season always calls for Spring cleaning and there is no better part of the house to clean than your garage. This is because we often pack all the patio furniture, yard equipment, and other miscellaneous things away in your garage during the winter season. Combine this with the debris that gets carried in with the snow, our garages can become rather dirty. Once Spring comes around, it time to enjoy the near perfect weather before the heat waves of the summer are upon us. Cleaning out your garage by seeping the debris left over by the winter, wiping down and setting up your patio furniture, and reorganizing your yard equipment can make your outdoor Spring experience more enjoyable.


Considering that this past Winter season was one of the most bizarre Winter's in recent history, the Spring weather can't get here soon enough. Following the tips on this list will allow you to get a jumpstart on the 2018 Spring season and will surely make it even more enjoyable than it already will be.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
