As of March 20, winter is officially over and spring is here. Spring is by far my favourite season of the year because itās the most confident. Sure, summerās hot, but the pressure for summer lovinā gives me humid, sweaty anxiety. Autumn is pretty and full of pumpkin spiceābut it also abruptly forces you back to school and back to the grind. Winterās full of sparkly holidays; but the festive season also means wet feet, cold hands, and gift-buying-induced credit card debt.
Spring is different. Itās your first chance to bust out dresses without boots and tights, to expose some skin, and get free vitamin D. Even if youāre stuck in an end-of-semester slump, now you can go outside and see those first flowers starting to bloomāa new beginning is budding.
