Spring Is Officially Here In Ohio, And I Couldn't Be Happier

Spring is sprinting back into season.

If the erratic and unpredictable rainstorms did not warn you that the tempestuous spring is back in season, maybe the fluctuating temperatures from 50s-80s is a good sign. After a long winter, all I can say about spring returning is thank God! Spring is one of the best seasons because there is so much to do: farmers markets start popping up around town, fairs, outdoor concerts, hiking, rock climbing, and late night stargazing all come rushing back into season.

Moreover, outdoor sports are a must; the lukewarm temperature and cold breeze of spring create the perfect atmosphere for those who do not want to get too sweaty but still want that outdoor workout.

Spring is back! This means outdoor barbecues, spontaneous pool parties, bike rides, lemonade stands, and the sweet smell of rain that always lingers in Midwest air. It means hunting for flowers in the middle of the day or getting off of work late at night to go to a friend's movie-watching party.

In the spring, everyone seems to shed their winter funk and reopen themselves to the possibility of the world. The grocery market becomes a little friendlier, your neighbor's kids start playing outside again, and the sound of a dog barking becomes white noise. There is so much to love about spring that can be easy to forget due to the frequent downpours.

However, these also bring about staying in and having movie nights with pizza delivered, car rides to pick up popcorn and snacks, overly competitive board game tournaments or sitting in a big chair with a good book.

Take this spring to re-energize yourself and center your energy. Remember all the good things spring will bring as it relieves us all of a bitter cold winter season, and try not to let the constant rain get you down too much!

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
