My Letter to Spring

Spring is coming and with it brings joy

My Letter to Spring
Bing

The sun hits your face as a breeze blows by sending cherry blossom petals around like snowflakes. The air smells sweet and inviting. Things are coming to life around you. Flowers are popping up in the beds around you, birds flying and singing around.

Spring is a time when people are happier and around more. They are friendlier and more willing to go on adventures. Coffee dates, off roading, late night hammocking, bonfires, and mornings watching the sunrises with friends make spring so beautiful. Spring is the beginning of something so beautiful. Spring lets you know that summer is coming.

With spring brings trips to the river, hikes around the woods, bike rides, trips to the pool, and iced tea. Spring just brings so many more possibilities than winter. Winter is where things go to die because it is too cold to move or do anything. You run from building to building as quickly as possible because you might die from the frost that is chasing you in your pursuit of warmth.

The sun is warm and it just makes you happy, classes become harder, but the fun and excitement grows. Studying outside becomes more and more frequent. Procrastination is real and basically becomes your full time job.

Pictures become a daily occurrence and the search for the perfect photo becomes an adventure.

Spring is a time of year with new and fresh beginnings. Spring brings love into the air and romance blossoms all around. Couples seem to fall out of the woodwork. People walk around holding hands that you didn’t even know knew each other.

Some of my favorite memories are from the spring. It is perfect. Not too hot, not too cold. If there is one thing that I love about spring it is the start of baseball season. I love hitting baseballs around with my friends on the weekends. It is a great form of exercise as well as social activity. Baseball gets you outside in the wonderful sun and moving around getting that cardio.

Spring makes me feel inspired, more willing to get things done. Spring allows me to get creative and excited. Spring makes me feel like I live in a fairytale. A magic place where dreams come true, a place of love and talking animals. Spring encourages me that the world is not a dark cold, scary place. There is beauty and happiness all around.

The promise of spring is right around the corner. I can feel it. Bring on the picnics and hang outs in the park. Bring on the afternoons of feeding ducks and exploring. Bring on the spontaneous road trips and adventures to find that perfect shot. Bring on the days of basking in the sun and wondering how you ever lived without it before. Bring on the bike rides and creativity. Bring on the joy.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
