10 Reasons Spring Is The Best Season Of Them All

In This Article:

All of the seasons have different aspects about them that make people look forward to their arrival. However, by the end of that season, you're pretty much over those aspects and ready to push them off for a year. Summer has vacations and fun outdoor activities but can also have unbearable heat. Fall has pumpkins and leaves but can get busy quickly. Winter has holidays, but it's so gray afterward. Spring, on the other hand, has the perfect combination of weather, temperatures, activities, and colors that I look forward to every year. It is clearly the best season out of the four.

1. Sunshine

Yes, I know it generally rains for a good portion of spring too, but there's just something so warm and inviting about the sun that makes me look forward to all the fun/relaxing things I can do in the summer (in between working, of course; we are adults who need to pay rent after all).

2. "Longer" days

This could technically fall under the last category, but I'm in charge of this listicle. Anyways, more daylight means increased productivity. I enjoy looking out the window at 7:30 pm and thinking "It's still light outside?"

3. More sun = more serotonin

Seasonal blues? I don't know her anymore.

4. Babies

'Tis the season for babies to be born! Kittens, puppies, chicks, bunnies, ducklings... need I say more?

5. Flowers

Flowers offer up some much-needed color to the world after a dark and dreary winter, some help out the bee population, and they smell nice too! I'm willing to deal with the annoying effects of my pollen allergy as long as I have flowers.

6. Wardrobe switch

Goodbye, sweaters and boots; I'm trading you in for crop tops and sunglasses. It's not you, it's me. I'll see you in the fall.

7. More activity choices

Since the weather is nicer, there's more things to do and places to go!

8. Never a better time to feel like a college student

I don't know about you, but I never feel more like a college student than when I'm surrounded by my fellow students throwing frisbees, soaking up the sun, and just enjoying the day. It's just a stereotypical feeling that really accentuates the college experience for me which in turn makes me more motivated to tackle some schoolwork.

9. Farmers markets

Time to break out my picnic basket and clear my Saturdays, baby!

10. It's a time of new beginnings

OK, there's a lot of different times of the year where people like to start fresh (New Years, a new school year, etc.), but spring is the rebirth of things after they've been hiding away all winter! Now is the perfect time to get out there and take initiative! After all, there is more daylight now.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
