SPRING
The term 'spring fever' definitely comes to mind. I love the arrival of this season; the moment spring actually springs (and it always seems to have one day where it suddenly IS and it's just not going to go back, even taking Midwestern and New England fickleness into account) I get all sorts of side effects from it.
For one, I suddenly need less sleep. During winter, I really do need like 9 hours of sleep to feel really well-rested; I can get by on 7 or 8, but I'll feel tired. Now? Five is fine. I'm not completely and totally bouncing off the walls energetic, but I'm not tired.
For another, food. I don't want so many carbs anymore. I still love my sugar, that's a constant really, but I don't want baked goods so much (flour is so heavy) or bread. Not to say I won't eat them (I am working with AVI Fresh here -.-) but they're much lower on the list than they were last week--I want yogurt and meat and eggs and yummy veggies now.
Third, focus. Spring wreaks havoc on my study skills. >.> I just lose all tolerance for non-appealing things; I procrastinate like crazy. XD
Fourth, mood. I'm just happy. I walk around for a couple minutes outside, and I'm practically laughing at the world--not because there's something really funny, but because everything is so incredibly alive and I'm really, really happy. I love being that happy.
Point five is probably TMI, but...well, let's just say fanfic reading time spikes, and I really wish I had a boyfriend. XD
Basically, spring makes me giddy and bouncy and really, really happy. It's such a huge contrast from winter, when everything is dead and cold and bleak and lifeless and it makes me want to hide in my room under my blankets and never come out. XD I wish we didn't have winter to deal with. But, IT IS SPRING AND LIFE IS WONDERFUL. EVEN WITH IMPENDING FINALS.
