Spring Is In The Air!

The birds are singing, the sun is shining, and if you're a northerner, you're relieved to see the colour green sprouting up after seven long months hidden beneath a heavy duvet of white snow.

Spring is here!!

Aside from the weather, what does that mean?

Well for starters, it means a much needed dose of Vitamin D to boost our moods. For some of you it means tanning is now in session, and for the rest of us, it means our transformation into red lobsters is once more inevitable, no matter how much sunblock we arm ourselves with.

The arrival of spring might also mean a heavy dose of motivation. A second chance, if you will, at a new years resolution that was denied us while our convictions battled snow storms with oh so cozy pajamas and taking shelter indoors.

Either way, to this Bra Street Rambler, it has always felt much more like the beginning of the year than January 1st ever has. The rain comes in and washes the remnants of a desolate winter away, seemingly dead plants are reborn, the air smells fresh, and the combined chirping of birds and pitter patter of creatures both small and large shows us that new life is everywhere. In this season, the world is reborn, and along with it comes a world of new opportunities and possibilities.

Personally, I'm a fan of starting this new beginning with some spring cleaning. A chance at reinventing my surroundings by de-cluttering them and finding something new to surround myself with that makes me happy. This year, my indoor plant collection seems to be growing and boy do the fresh herbs make my apartment smell nice! (And for those of you Rambler's who have been with this blog since the beginning, you read that right! My black thumb has made huge strides!)

Yes, much like mother nature, I will refresh my surroundings. I shall take the time to refresh myself, and to refresh my goals and perspectives. Much like the animals born to this season, I shall test my legs at new endeavors and go on new adventures.

How will YOU take advantage of spring?

That's right, I'm looking at you Ramblers!

Keep Calm and Carry On My Wayward Son

What is it about a crisis, big or small, that makes us panic and freak out? Why does the unknown cause our hearts to beat faster and the little people in our brains to yell “Abort! Abort!” as they hit the big red self-destruct button? I’ve seen people jumping up and down freaking out about a little stove fire, completely forgetting the need to put it out, let alone the how.  I’ve seen those afraid of the dark forget they own candles and flashlights the moment the lights start to flicker.  I’ve seen a sober person at a party panicking as they try to locate someone to drive an injured individual to the hospital, completely forget that they themselves are qualified to drive.  The solutions are staring them in the face but they are momentarily reduced to the same frozen response a deer suffers when caught in the headlights.  A person can be the most level headed, logical person you’ve ever met, they could even be the most prepared for a situation, but w...

A Bra Among Bros

So if you’re like me, you probably tend to hang around guys more than you do girls.  Contrary to what other girls may think, this has nothing to do with being promiscuous or trying to pick up. Alright, for some of you it might be, and in such cases have fun.  Honestly who am I to judge, it’s your body and your decision to do with it as you please.  This is the twenty first century and the double standard of guys being labeled heroes while girls are being labeled as sluts is a concept that really does need to be fed to a pool of starving piranhas. Destroy the mindset.  Everyone is human, everyone has needs, and if everyone involved is of age and it isn’t hurting anyone… why should it be anyone else’s business? Back on point, guys are usually just easier to get along with (Though there are always a small group of female exceptions).  The conversations are more often than not less dramatic, the friendships are easier to maintain, and you have less necessity ...

Recharging Your Social

If you're an introvert, you know what it's like to be peopled-out. While I am one of those few people who is evenly distributed between being an introvert and an extrovert, I often find that working in public service results in a higher need for me to set hanging out with friends aside in order to recharge my social batteries. Extroverts sometimes have difficulty understanding this need as they try to present the fact that they are low maintenance/really easy going, or just want to do something relaxing together. In their mind, watching a movie with them is no different than watching a movie alone as there would be little communication going on anyway. While it is true that some people are easier to be around in certain moods, sometimes a need to recharge means a need to be completely alone with yourself for a while.  For an introvert, or someone with introvert tendencies, being tired doesn't always mean you are sleepy, it means you are emotionally drained in t...
