Nothing is better than the coming of spring. The snow melts, the flowers bloom, and it's not dark by 3:30 p.m. anymore. It feels so good to go outside and feel the sun on your face and ditch the heavy winter jacket for a lighter one. By and large, everything just gets better with the change of the season. Here are just some signs spring is near.

1. The sun!

It is finally sunny at 6 a.m. and even at 6 p.m. too. No more depressing sunsets by 4 p.m.

2. Flowers start to bloom

Flowers start to bloom, trees start to get green again.The dead winter look starts to make way for the look of spring.

3. People start day drinking

If you go to a college you know it is almost spring when half of campus is outside drinking just because it is a really nice Wednesday.

4. Spring Break!

Time to go to the Bahamas, Jamaica, Punta Cana, or stay at home watching TV.

5. You can actually go outside without a heavy jacket

You can finally wear a vest or a light jacket and feel comfortable.

6. It is almost Easter

Almost time to get the family together ad go to church, hunt for easter eggs, and eat peeps.
