Don't @ me on this.

10 Reasons Spring Is The Best Season Of Them All

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.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
