10 Things to Do in Spring as a Girl in Your Twenties
Because the season of new beginnings deserves a main-character moment
Spring arrives like an old friend who’s been away traveling bursting through the door with an oversized tote full of stolen sunshine, half-melted chocolate, and stories to tell. Everything feels new, alive, and shimmering with possibility. You start believing in love again. You consider reading poetry. You look at cherry blossoms and think, “I should get bangs.”
Here are ten things to do in spring when you’re in your twenties, floating between youthful chaos and the quiet murmur of impending adulthood.
Reinvent Yourself (Again)
It’s the season of rebirth, which means a prime opportunity to shed your winter self and emerge as someone who wears linen. Maybe this time, you’ll be the kind of person who goes on morning runs. Or starts a ceramics class. Or actually sticks to a skincare routine beyond the three days of enthusiasm that come with buying new serums.Book a Spontaneous Weekend Trip
There is no greater joy than escaping your city for a weekend with your best friend(s), a chaotic packing job, and a tote bag full of snacks. Train rides are for deep conversations about life, love, and whether or not you should text him back.
Go on an Outdoor Date (Even if It’s Just with Yourself)
Spring is the perfect backdrop for romance, even if the romance is just between you and an overpriced iced oat latte. Walk through a park, sit on a bench and pretend you’re in a Sally Rooney novel, or find a sun drenched café and scribble mysterious thoughts in a notebook.Spring Clean Your Life
And by that, I mean do something satisfying like purging your wardrobe, deleting your ex’s number (again), or finally unsubscribing from those emails you never open. Make space for new things literal or metaphorical.Buy Yourself Flowers
You don’t need to wait for someone else to do it. Pick up a bunch of tulips or daffodils, place them in a jug you thrifted last summer, and feel disproportionately proud of yourself every time you walk past them.
Host a Picnic Like You’re in a Jane Austen Novel
Find a patch of grass, bring a blanket, a bottle of something bubbly, and snacks that require just the right amount of effort (strawberries, soft cheeses, little sandwiches cut into triangles). Extra points if someone plays music from their phone and it feels like a scene from an indie coming-of-age film.Try a New Hobby and Pretend It’s Your Whole Personality
Knitting, yoga, rollerskating, painting, making homemade pasta whatever it is, go all in. Annoy everyone by talking about it too much. Drop casual references to it in conversation as if you’ve been doing it your whole life.
Go Thrift Shopping and Romanticise It
Wander through a secondhand shop in search of the perfect spring dress or a vintage basket bag. Hold things up and consider who wore them before you. Buy something you don’t need because it “tells a story.”Go to a Market and Pretend You’re in a Nancy Meyers Film
Buy a loaf of artisanal sourdough that costs more than your last Deliveroo order. Sample cheeses. Chat with a vendor about seasonal produce like you’re someone who knows things about seasonal produce.Just Be, and Let the Season Work Its Magic
Bask in the warmth of the first proper sunny day. Laugh too loudly at nothing. Stay out a little too late. Feel everything a little too much. Let yourself be a character in the great, messy, unfolding story of your twenties.
Spring only comes once a year. Might as well make it cinematic.
