6 Amazing Things About The Transition Into Spring

In This Article:

Winter sucks. I mean, for a little bit, it's beautiful with the snow, but then, it just sucks. Winter makes it cloudy nearly every day and sometimes even painful just to go outside. Getting out of bed is so much harder in the winter, and seasonal depression is real. But when the transition to 50-degree weather starts to happen, you realize how thankful you are that winter is over.

1. Your closet space increases by 70% by putting away sweaters

Only light sweaters/jackets are necessary now.

2. You can walk outside without getting windburn

And it's not all that bad to walk instead of taking the bus.

3. Sitting outside becomes possible again

In winter, this is actually the worst and most miserable idea.

4. Spring break

What's better than a break from work/school, plus the weather starts to get warmer.

5. You start turn from invisibly pale to at least a darker shade of pale

This might not be relatable for everyone, but us pale people appreciate some sun.

6. You can wear Birkenstocks again

Also might not be relatable for everyone, but very relatable for me.

Happy spring (almost) and happy first week of March!

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
