For those of you whom aren’t quite sure how to crawl out of hibernation and shake off the winter blues, you’re not alone. With days of frigid temps and a lack of Vitamin D, it’s normal that we all feel a lack of energy as we make our way out of the doldrums, also known as winter months. The snow has melted, the puddles are drying, and a fresh start is at our fingertips. The vernal equinox is upon us and it’s about time to embrace the spring awakening Mother Nature is sending our way. Let’s take out those long to-do lists and get motivated!
Clean out your closet
As the weather gets warmer and spring fashion floods the street, it’s only normal to treat yourself to a mini-shopping spree! Start off by giving away that sweater you promised you would wear for the last two winters. Donating clothes is an awesome way to feel good about yourself, make a difference, and of course, make some space for the new must have items.
Give your living space a face-lift
Open the blinds, crack a window, and let the fresh spring air roll in. Take a little time to clean some clutter and add some new décor to your bedroom. It’s amazing how a slight change of scenery can put you in a better frame of mind. If you need some ideas check out these cool pieces on sale now!
Focus on your academics
It’s easy to feel hopeless as the spring semester comes to end. As the weather gets warmer and summer seems so close, it’s hard to pick up a book and sit in a classroom. Challenge yourself to stay ahead of your assignments and don’t let all that dartying get the best of you! With finals just around the corner, this last month of class will take all the energy you can give.
Get back in shape
Don’t worry guys, its natural for our bodies to pack on a few pounds during the winter months. With swimsuit season in our midst, it’s not too late to try again for that new years resolution of living a healthier lifestyle. Spring is the perfect season to get outside for a nice long run and enjoy a fresh salad for dinner.
Adventure with your gal pals
Call up your friends and go do something FUN. I know Netflix never lets you down but I promise it will still be there when you get back. With temperature on the rise, take advantage of the weather and do something good for you soul. If you haven’t wandered around the Cliff Walk in Newport or climbed around Hazard rock in Gansett, get out and give it a shot!
