Spring is long-awaited, especially for students. The dark winter months can be tough on students for many reasons. It’s common to be stuck inside, unmotivated, and depressed during the winter months. The season is officially in reach, and it’s time to start looking forward to spring activities by creating a Spring Bucket List!
Here’s 10 essentials to add to your Spring Bucket List…
Season Struggles
The winter months can be difficult for everyone. The days get dark sooner and the cold limits the amount of available outdoor activities. It is easy to fall victim to seasonal depression and become unmotivated. Winter is known to cause a lack of energy, making it hard to stay focused and easy to become stressed.
Spring is long-awaited, and the sooner you make your bucket list the better! It will not only help the time go faster but allow you to prepare for everything you plan. Traveling during the Spring can be a blast, but you can have just as much fun doing small activities throughout the season as well.

A picnic is a classic Spring activity. Pick a fun location and start packing the essentials. You’ll need all your favorite snacks, drinks, and of course a picnic blanket and basket. Whether you want it to be casual or extravagant, a picnic is essential for your Spring bucket list. If you want to hop on the new trends, bring a canvas, craft, or other fun activities along with you and pick a theme!
2. Tote Bag Painting
Tote Bags are not only cute but practical. It’s a perfect spring item to carry with you during all your bucket list activities. You can use them for books, flowers, or even as your picnic basket.

While going to the movie theater is fun, Spring is the perfect season to go out to the drive-in theater! The drive-ins make the perfect spring date with your partner or friends.

The drive-ins will allow you to enjoy the Spring air and sunsets while viewing your favorite movies.
9. Journal
Journaling is a fun and beneficial hobby to take up, and spring is the perfect time to begin. Journaling can be done in an abundance of ways to fit your needs or goals.
