The Portland weather can’t seem to make up its mind. The sun is shining on my way to class and then an hour and a half later it’s raining cats and dogs. I don’t know about all of you, but I’m ready for spring and some sun. I love the rain, but I can only take so much. Even though the weather might not be ready for spring, at least your computer background can be! Here are 5 computer backgrounds that are sure to brighten up your day: 

 

The other day I decided to go through and change all the colors and background photos on my computer. I’m normally not a fan of yellow, but this pattern was too cute. The best part was that the next day I was telling one of my besties and it turns out she had just changed her background to the same image a couple days before. Obvisously, this one is a winner!  

This was my last background and I absolutely loved it! Every time I saw it, I’d remember just to take a step back and breathe. This definitely helped with my stress level. 

 

I really like this quote. I think it’s a great reminder to make the best of your situation and give your all. This will totally lighten up your screen and remind you to get out there and try your best! 

 

Dream of flowers? Sunshine? Going to bed at a decent hour? Yes to all three, please! Even though the weather outside might not scream warm weather, at least you can dream it. 

Okay, I’ve been seeing this all over especially at my favorite store, Target. You can find pillows and notecards galore with this written on it in their dollar section. This background will remind you of sunny spring days and Target. I think this is a win-win!
