As seasons pass, many may be left wondering what to do with the new weather. While  many activities can be done throughout all seasons, there are some exciting individuals for each that people may forget when a season comes back around. So if you are struggling to come up with enjoyable activities, here are a few ideas to cure your boredom and make for a great day. 

On a sunny, spring day you could grab a friend and go for a hike! Head to a park close by and roam around the trails. If you want more of an adventure, you could also travel a little farther to another hiking location (such as the Palisades) and make a day trip out of it. Bring hammocks, some snacks and relax a little on the trail. Getting some fresh air with friends is always a good time. 

Another active springtime activity is going for a breezy bike ride. Whether it is a relaxing stroll on the bike trail or on a more rigorous path, the breeze in your hair can cure any mood. This can be done with friends or by yourself if you are looking to get away for a little bit and free your mind. The spring air is the perfect temperature for a bike ride- not too hot or cold. 

If you are hungry and unsure of what to do for lunch, have a delicious picnic at the park. Lay out, soak up the sun and eat delicious food. With a few friends this could be a fun pastime over lunch. If it is nice enough out, you could bring a few games to the picnic too such as spike ball. While it seems like just a small game, with the right people, it can get very competitive and become an exciting highlight of your day.

On a rainy spring day, when there is nothing to do, a great idea is to prepare for summer. Spring is the perfect time to get ahead of the rush and plan out your summer. Swimsuit shopping before they are all picked over, signing up for any camps and applying for a job. By getting ahead now, you take away some of the stress you may have later when the summer rush has come. Instead of feeling helpless and overwhelmed when camp registration has closed and summer clothes/swimsuits are picked over, you will be ahead of the game and feeling prepared to relax for the rest of summer. 

With these activities that don’t take much planning or many materials, you are set up to have an enjoyable spring with plenty of fresh air. You are also set up for something to do on a rainy spring day when you may just want to cuddle up inside and plan for summer.
