With it warming up and spring on the way, I feel like my mood has done a complete 180. Even though I’ve been very busy and had a lot going on, I have felt so much better and in a more positive mood the past few weeks, and I know it has to do with the weather. I was so tired of walking to class in the cold, dreary rain or getting home from work and it already being dark. I love that the sun goes down later and the weather is nicer. Tulips are planted all around campus, and it seems like everything is coming alive again! I only have about four more weeks left of the spring semester, and I want to take advantage of the good weather as much as possible! I came up with some fun ideas, a sort of spring mood board, to get me inspired for the season. I want to take better care of myself, eat well and workout more, be outside as much as possible, and make time for fun. I feel like I’ve gotten so consumed with schoolwork and my usual schedule that I haven’t stopped to appreciate the weather and all the fun that comes with a new season!

I can’t believe that this semester is almost over. It’s seriously flown by, and summer will be here before we know it! I’m trying to soak it up and not wish it away, but I’ve been so stressed with my classes recently that I’m in dire need of a break, haha. I love writing lists like this of little ways to enjoy the day and romanticize life. I love the feeling of a new season, with new opportunities and a fresh start!

What’s on your spring bucket list?
