What Makes Spring So Special

And why this is a season to celebrate.

There is no doubt about it that Spring is a magical season.

Finally, there is no bitterness in the air. There are no more chilly walks to class where it is so cold we can’t even lift our heads because the air is piercing. Finally, after what felt like years, the sun is poking out of what seemed to be forever gray skies.

Additionally, it means for me that I don’t have to have super cold hands anymore. Anyone who has self-diagnosed themselves with a disease called Raynaud's, where your arteries close up in your hands and feet due to coldness, can relate with me. It is not cute one bit to have your hands turn to a purplish tint.

However, it makes the bloom of Spring even sweeter. The birds will be singing, instead of the vague deadness of the outdoors. At good ole Miami, people will camp out in the quads on some nice blankets. Maybe some will even work while in their chairs that they bring down from their dorm rooms. (Yes, I know people who do this, and it is just brilliant).

Spring means color. We will finally see the blue of the sky replace the gray, darkness of overcast. There will be the green of trees accompanying us by the green of the grass. Little flowers will bloom, purple and blue and yellow. And the colors go as far as Starbucks, which is gladly changing up their cups for the Spring. Just looking at one will make you happier.

The tour groups and the tour guides will look way more comfortable walking through Miami. Instead of looking miserable at the fact that they can see their own breath during the tour (even though Miami still makes a good impression in the midst of these circumstances), these people will be at ease.

Spring means listening to the rustle of the leaves in the trees on a walk to class. It means listening to the birds chirping. Listening to the rain pound on the ground while you are safe in a library, or the thunder rumble your dorm room while you are finding comfort with your best friends watching a scary movie.

It means the bikers are out, and finally you can go on that run on that one trail that gives you the deepest peace.

Spring means formals. It means sunny days. It means better moods. It means smiles. It means laughs.

It also means spending the last couple of weeks of the semester with the ones you love most. Freshmen, you are just about to end a life changing year that you will never forget. You are on to the last couple of weeks with best friends you had the privilege to grow close with this past year.

Sophomores and Juniors, you are off to making the most wonderful memories with your best friends, which you’ll be parted from for a couple of months only to see them again in the Fall.

Seniors, this is the tail end. You are taking the sunshine and fresh breeze of Miami for the last time. This Spring means friendship and closure, so it's important to soak this season up as much as possible.

Whatever state you are in, Spring is a beautiful season to embrace. Take in the sunshine, breathe the fresh air of the newly planted flowers, and jump in as many puddles as you possibly can. Spring is a season to forever be grateful for.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
