By: Christina Chen<\/span><\/p>\n

Spring break just ended and I need my warm weather asap. Especially having spent my break in the Bahamas, I wasn\u2019t so glad to be greeted with 30-degree weather when I landed at Logan Airport. Boston has been cold, dreary, and dark for too long now. I\u2019ve been planning out my perfect spring day for when the weather is just right, so this is my game plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Head to the Thinking Cup<\/span><\/p>\n

I love getting up early because it makes my day feel productive and I feel less rushed. So my first stop on my perfect spring day is coffee from the Thinking Cup, specifically the Tremont location. Thankfully my off-campus apartment is close to the T, where I can hop on and ride my way towards Boylston. I\u2019ll order myself a mocha and croissant after I hunt down an empty table. And for the next hour or two, I\u2019ll complete some class work before I get tired out.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Walk through the Commons<\/span><\/p>\n

The best way to shake off the sleepiness of working on a laptop is to go outside. Perfect since the Commons are right next to the Thinking Cup. I like to walk around in hopes of catching Nick Shea AKA the $1 drawing guy. He\u2019s a great conversationalist and I get something to remember my perfect spring day. Otherwise, I like to people-watch and pet dogs. Plus, the Commons always has something going on, one time I went and stumbled upon the Chris Evans Look-alike contest.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Picnic in the Public Garden<\/span><\/p>\n

The commons are right by the Public Garden and I love going here with friends. So it\u2019s only logical that we have a little picnic! We\u2019d meet near the pond and set up under a willow tree because I love whimsy. And since we\u2019re college students our lunch will include chips, fruits, and premade sandwiches from the grocery store. We\u2019ll chat about our days and lay around enjoying the nice weather before one of us mentions a little adventure.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. A Quick stroll around Beacon Hill<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s usually me, I am the one that mentions a little adventure. Which is not far from where we\u2019d be! We\u2019d take a quick stroll around Beacon Hill, the houses around there are beautiful. Not to mention the cutest and most aesthetically pleasing stores. If you go inside The Flat of the Hill, which is on Charles St. in Beacon Hill, you\u2019ll find a plethora of Jelly Cats. Here is where I fight the urge to purchase everything. In the end, I will not buy anything. Finally my friends and I head to the T and part ways.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Dinner at my apartment<\/span><\/p>\n

The day isn\u2019t over just yet! When I get home I chat with my roommates while we are all in the kitchen whipping up dinner. This is our first year living off-campus and we love it. It’s so nice to go back to a place that\u2019s totally ours. I close out my perfect spring day with dinner in our living room and our slightly janky projector set up watching a silly romcom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
