Spring sports have also recently started which has taken over many peoples after school time increasing the time spent outside Hackley. Besides sports, what other outdoor activities are popular?

Spending time outside is a popular pastime, during the spring, as the sun comes out and the weather gets warmer. One student, Mila Gaur, believes that it’s a great time to spend time outside. 

“‘I like going swimming with my friends or go bike riding with my friends because it’s really nice to step out into the fresh air and it’s a type of exercise that makes me feel good,’” said Mila Gaur

Not only is it much warmer to jump into the pool, but it’s also really relaxing to get some outdoor exercise as well. 

At school, spending time outside has increased in popularity after the long cold winter. Instead of spending recess and free periods inside, people are now starting to spend more time outside as well.

“‘I like playing spike ball at school and throwing around the lacrosse ball. says Annabelle Romano “‘I also like just sitting outside and doing my work and reading a book because it’s so much more peaceful to do your work outside with like no distractions’”

Spike ball, reading, and working outside are all forms of how people choose to spend their free time outside. Working outside is on the rise, and is very efficient for getting work done as well. 

Spending time outside is important but so is spending time doing a spring related activity inside too that lightens the spring spirit. 

“‘Inside I love baking, maybe doing like a craft or doing some art like painting or something, but baking is definitely like number one on my list’” says Annabelle.

Baking is a very comforting and enjoyable pastime especially when baking something sweet such as making cookies after a spring day. Painting is also a very peaceful activity and a very spring coded activity. 

“‘Eat out and watch movies, especially ones that put me in a good mood”’ says Sarina Odenthal.

Watching movies is also a great pastime and way to spend a spring evening watching something that puts one into a good mood.

Overall, there is a great majority of activities one can do during the spring, both inside and outside that reflects a good mood and vibe as a whole.
