“I woke up this morning and was immediately greeted with a true rarity: sunshine. Sometimes, Boston winters seem to last forever (shoutout to last week’s April snowfall). But there are brighter days ahead, and it\u2019s almost time to trade my vitamin D supplements for some fun in the sun! This upcoming weekend’s 60 degree forecasts inspired me to list the things I’m most excited to do when Spring has finally sprung.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. Check out the art (and food) at SoWa Open Market<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
When I spent my first summer living in Boston, I went to SoWa nearly every weekend. Located in the gorgeous South End, it\u2019s filled with various artists, vendors, and most importantly, food trucks. Roxy\u2019s Grilled Cheese, anyone?<\/div>\n

2. Go for a stroll (and spend a bit too much money) on Newbury Street<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
This one is an absolute classic. Newbury Street may look beautiful when those trees are covered in snow and Christmas lights, but subzero temperatures don\u2019t make for an ideal shopping experience. When it finally warms up, I can spend hours strolling along Newbury Street with my friends. Don\u2019t forget to take a snack break at Georgetown Cupcake (you deserve it).<\/div>\n

3. Visit The Seaport District!<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
I\u2019ve noticed that this area is severely underappreciated by BU student. I\u2019ll admit that I\u2019m part of the problem! The seaport is a little difficult to get to, but on a nice day you can walk here from Park Street or South Station, and it\u2019s even accessible by the Silver Line if you\u2019re not feeling it. The seaport is beautiful on a summer day, and you can stop by the I.C.A., or even go beyond this district and walk to the Lawn on D!<\/div>\n

4. Enjoy a run (or walk, or bike ride, or picnic, etc.) on the Esplanade<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Ah yes, save the simplest for last. There isn\u2019t a single excuse to not enjoy the Esplanade. It\u2019s about a thirty second walk from campus, and it\u2019s a great place to exercise, do homework, or just spend time with friends.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The next several Saturdays should be beautiful, so be sure to add a few of these ideas to your weekend to-do list!<\/span><\/div>\n
