(I am well aware we are already a month into spring right now, but as I live in Melbourne where the forecast is cruel and volatile, you can understand my timing. That whole month was the adjustment period)
1. Single girls on the rebound.
Not my personal favourite. Especially because unless you are a lesbian this means being ambushed in nightclub bathrooms by clingy, depressed females deprived of sympathy and attention looking for a shoulder to cry on. Even if they don’t know you. (Just quietly, I’m not your soul sista, my sleeves are not tissues, respect personal space and we’ll leave it at that). But, if you are a young, strapping lad looking for some action, spring is the ultimate time for fornication! Winter, a time when people often remain cooped up inside and don’t want to be lonely, is over, the weather is warmer and people don’t mind so much about playing the field. Girlfriends are dumped, tears are shed, blah blah blah, everybody gets drunk in the end and goes out looking for some action. Girls approach boys in nightclub bathrooms looking for sympathy and a shoulder to cry on in the form of and XXX.
2. Not getting rained on.
This might be an obvious one, but the promise of silky hair and un-smudged makeup is enough to make any girl bow down and pay thanks to the rain gods or mother nature or whatever. No more clinging to the side of buildings waiting in nightclub lines! No more almost catching pneumonia waiting for a cab! Happy day!
3. Florals.
OMG I know, don’t even say it because this is so cliche, but I am pumped at the prospect of socially acceptable flower crowns, daisy chains and sandals at nightclubs. Do you have an issue? It’s festive, alright?
4. DAYLIGHT SAVINGS!
Natures green light to party longer. Daylight savings is hands down the best thing about the warmer months, and general life. Sorry Queensland.
5. Hearing ‘Gangnam Style’ at a club and everybody losing their shit.
Their are race riots going on and people getting abducted and killed but this is overcome by the sense of community and belonging generated by a song with only one line you have to memorise to get into it. We had “We No Speak Americano,” and now the Gods have hand crafted us a new beacon of positivity and hope that will certainly conquer the injustices of the world because we can dance along to it.
6. People getting some actual rays.
High-five for no more pasty people and high-ten for people not feeling like they have to imitate the sun with excessive amounts of fake tan.
