The Struggle Of Spring Allergies As Told By Lisa Simpson
Lisa Simpson

Oh Spring! It is just a beautiful time of the year because the snow is off the ground, the flowers start to bloom, and everything just so bright and amazing right?


WRONG! I mean yes everything I said is absolutely correct, if you can actually enjoy the weather because for some of us, the weather change is not what we are looking forward too no matter how much closer it gets to summer vacation. Everyone remember the Bee movie, how they talked about pollen traveling from tree to tree, and if they don't do their job the trees and flowers will die? Yes it helps flowers grow, tress sprout, and people sneeze until the dawn of time! Seriously Spring allergies are the worst allergies because this is when pollen charts are through the roof, spring cleaning is in the air so dust is also in the mix, and you have to figure out if you want to risk it or stay in a bubble all day long. Don't understand the struggle? Let me show you how Spring allergies really feel to those of us who pray to survive this one and delay the next year.

1. Sneezing starts to happen uncontrollably.

Yes this does happen. One minute everything is peachy and great in your romper or dress and the next thing you know you are sneezing left and right.

2. Your nose gets so stuffy you can't enjoy the simple things.

The simplest of meals just don't taste the same. I literally mean every single piece of food almost tastes bad - heck even bread doesn't even taste the same.

3. Soon you are sniffling and sneezing so much you can barely see a thing.

You know the song lyric "I can see clearly now the rain is gone?" Well we are usually singing "I can see clearly now my allergies are gone" because your eyes get so watery there is no way you can see a thing clearly. You are rubbing them so much they start to burn and it just goes down hill from there.

4. Soon everything just becomes a giant blur and you cannot tell if its pollen or dust causing your allergies.

Heck if I could talk to woodland creatures about my struggles, I probably would because I would not be able to leave the forest at this rate!

Yes, it is a battlefield when we live in any place where we check or ask our friends to check the weather and gives us the pollen count and you just pray our Claritin D or Allegra will kick in sooner rather than later! Just know, this is not our first rodeo and you need to get on board to help us through the struggle because it is real! We may need to tag you in to get us some tissues with the lotion on them to make sure our noses don't get crusty or give us the best allergy meds that you have on you.

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!
