After the overwhelming winter holidays, there is a break before spring jumps into full swing. As a whole, the excitement of summer being so close often causes one to overlook and underappreciate the moments of cool weather, rainy mornings, green trees, baby animals, and various holidays. 

The holidays that are forgotten are great ways to boost one’s mood and find something to look forward to as they wait for summer. Aside from the blooming flowers and warmer weather, spring holidays add to the excitement of the season. Once Easter rolls around, students begin to realize just how close they are to summer. 

Though North Dakota springs can be chilly, spring fever kicks up as soon the weather reaches above freezing. Holidays such as Saint Patrick’s Day or Easter may not be a cure but can help the long drag after the winter holidays.

While winter and fall holidays take up most of the attention, there are still many ways to make the holidays prior to summer enjoyable. For example, Saint Patrick’s Day gives an opportunity for parties with friends and themed events. It is a lesser holiday, but the traditions that come with it are still great ways to find some fun.

Easter is a religious holiday that not everyone celebrates, but can still bring some fun activities and things to boost one’s mood. Aside from the actual holiday, the seasonal treats that go along with it are just a small part of the festivities. 

The spring holidays are usually seen as lesser than Halloween and Christmas, but the joy that comes with the traditions is often just as special or better than the winter holidays. With school so close to ending and spring sports kicking up, spring holidays are overshadowed by the stress and busyness of the season. Spring is an eventful time with many great holidays that should be celebrated as people live in the moment and make the best out of the opportunities given.
