Well, 2020 was a heck of a year. Everyone has seen some things in the past 365 days and every single one of us is ready to get outside and breathe some fresh air this spring. Self-isolating was fun for a few weeks, but enough is enough. Birds are singing, plants are coming alive, and warm weather is begging us to run free in the great outdoors.
The anniversary of the beginning of the Thing That Shall Not Be Named is upon the world, and all anyone wants to do is get back to normal. So to say people are excited about spring break this year would be an epic understatement. Following are some tweets that nail how we all feel about spring coming this year.
