Spring Has Sprung

With spring arriving, the weather has become warmer, the flowers are starting to become visible, animals are no longer hibernating, and birds are singing. There are always beautiful flower shows, parades, and butterflies that remind us of how beautiful spring is. I know that once the weather becomes warmer I just want to be outside and be one with nature. The vibrant colors that finally reveal themselves, after months of being hidden under grey clouds and white snow, are simply breath taking.

With all of this, there is a downfall to all of the flowers blooming and pollen flying around and that would be something we all know as allergies. Allergies are something that many people have because that gentle breeze that hits you while outside is filled with particles that attack the sinuses, resulting in multiple sneezing attacks. These attacks can happen while on the phone, in the car while driving, casually strolling with a friend, or just at any random moment! These attacks come with people looking at you in a disgusted way, but do not fret... they do not know how it feels to sneeze almost eight times in a row. It is a great relief.

Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent allergies. Yes, there are many allergy medicines that you can take to try and stop the sneezing attacks, runny noses, itchy throats, and all that other good stuff that comes along with allergens. However, there truly is no way to rid of them completely.

In this time of sinus pressure and runny noses, just remember you’re not alone. There are plenty of other warriors fighting this allergy battle with you.

Happy Spring!

And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
