Don't be deceived by the bright colors and the warm air — spring is the worst season of them all.
There will be those that try to tell you otherwise, pointing out the blue skies and the flowers and the exhilarating feeling of rebirth, but remember that nothing is ever as pretty as it seems.
And if you don't see everything that is terrible about this wretched time of year, please: allow me to enlighten you, you beautiful, beautiful fool.

Pollen
You can run, but you can’t hide. No matter what you do, pollen will find you and will remain in every crevice of your body until June. Prepare yourself to look like a bumblebee, friend.
BONUS: Good luck if you have a dark-colored car. Try looking cool when you constantly look like you’re rolling in a small school bus.

School kicks your a**
Is it just me, or does school get at least 155% more difficult after spring break? Actually, I know it’s not just me, because it’s 12:30 a.m. and I am surrounded by one thousand other students in the still-packed UL. For whatever reason, professors seem to find it humorous to keep us holed up with our homework in the library, staring longingly at the warm, sunny weather outside. Joke's on them, though: I never leave my room anyways.

Spring clothes are hideous
Oh, God. Does spring fashion even actually exist? Or is it just an uncomfortable, confused mix between end-of-winter sales and the beginning of summertime wardrobes? Spring clothes are summarized completely by that 2007 trend where people went around wearing short shorts and Ugg boots. And as someone who dearly loves the all-black look of later months, I am personally offended by the pastels and florals of March through May. Miranda Priestly: I understand you.

“Love is in the air”
Along with the pollen pores flying in your eyes, your sight also has to be tainted with the foul vision that is giddy springtime couples, and, like the pollen pores, they are everywhere. The view is too much for us bitter folk to handle and, frankly, I would rather skip every month between March and June than see another picnic taking place beneath a blossoming cherry tree while a warm breeze blows lightly through two smiling lovebirds’ hair. Disgusting.

Spring cleaning
Spring cleaning means doing an in-depth job, and the thought is horrifying. Everybody has that one corner in their room behind their bed or next to their dresser where everything just seems to disappear. Do you really want to uncover the enormous, dusty spider that’s currently hiding back there? I didn’t think so. Might as well just leave him be and ignore your cleaning duties another day.

The time change
The number one question I ask myself yearly: why the hell does the time change still exist? Apparently, it was originally used to conserve energy, but considering the US still manages to use 529 quadrillion British thermal units of energy each year — which is so much, the statistic sounded like a made-up number to me — I don’t think that taking away my precious beauty sleep is really helping anybody. Case closed.
