“The beautiful spring came, and when nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also.”

-Harriet Ann Jacobs

After a long dark period of freezing temperatures and gloomy skies, Springtime has finally arrived! The sky is now more beautiful than ever and the flowers have reappeared from their seasonal sleep.

It’s time to go outside and breathe in the fresh air. If you’re wondering how you can take advantage of this awesome quarter of the year, here is a list of all the delightful things you can try this time around:

1. Enjoy the outdoors

“Stop and smell the roses.” as they say. Our days can be so hectic, we often neglect our sense of peace and tranquility.

So it's time to go outside and enjoy the lovely natural world! This can be anything from taking a stroll in the park, playing outside with your family, or getting more rowdy with sports.

2. Learn new things

With the delicious warmth of Spring and the uncomfortable cold gone, you should attempt learning new outdoor activities.

If you’ve never learned to ride a bike, now is the time. Not only can it result in you having so much fun, but it will keep you active and fit. It only sounds like positives here!

3. Plant a garden

Let's be honest, most of us find gardens to be natural delights of the world. They look gorgeous, and this simple product of nature can fill us with happiness and joy in their presence.

Beyond pretty colorful flowers, why not go above and beyond and start planting things we can eventually eat, like tasty fruits and vegetables? Here are some ideas for your garden: potatoes, onions, garlic, beets, raspberries, cucumbers, the list can go on!

4. Spring cleaning time

A new season is a perfect time to clean and organize your house or room.

This means decluttering your space and putting aside objects that will no longer be necessary for the warmer months.

5. Go shopping

You wore cold-weather outfits for so long, it’s time to change things up a bit. Go shopping for some new clothes. You can now wear short-sleeved tops and shorts. Maybe try buying new clothes with the trends that are coming out.

6. Attend a music festival

Great musical festivals start during Spring and extend into Summer. Take advantage of the time and make sure to go to one.

You will enjoy great music, meet new people, and have fun with friends. Coachella occurs during Springtime.

7. Watch a movie outside

There are still several places that host their outdoor productions. Going to a drive-in movie theatre may not be something you do regularly, which is why it would make it a perfect night out.

8. Go to a rooftop bar

Rooftop bars can be a luxurious experience. Chitchat with a friend over drinks while enjoying a wonderful view of the city.

It will only be better during the Springtime.

You know you’ve always wanted to have a cute, romantic picnic. It’s romanticized in countless films and cartoons.

Why not have a snack with a partner or some friends on a beautiful sunny day at the park.

10. Enjoy Spring Break!

College students across the country get excited for Spring Break. Well, you don’t have to be a student to take a vacation.

How about going to the beach or having a blast at an amusement park?

12. Go berry picking

Delicious berries, like strawberries and blueberries, are ready in late Spring. It’s not only a summer or fall activity!

Grab a basket and pick as many as you can. Enjoy!
