Spring is more torturous than winter. Sure, you survived the cold, dreary weather, but now the sun is shining and everything is bright and beautiful -- and you're still stuck at work or school.
The days may be longer, but many of us have to absorb them from afar. (Unless you're lucky enough to catch a summer break, that is.)
Never fear, because the Internet will provide you a healthy* dose of Vitamin D and surely cheer you up.
*Doctors have not proved this statement to be accurate, healthy or even slightly effective.
First, you need to set the mood with the right music. Do you want an upbeat song that reminds you of spinning around a field in a tire swing? Or something relaxing that will transport you to a warm and tropical place?
Field, you say? Try "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves.
Beach babes, here's "Island in the Sun" by Weezer.
(If neither takes you to your Vitamin D happy place, perhaps a whole playlist will get you in the mood.)
Now for a little outdoor time. Doctors say you need only 20 minutes of sun per day, so scroll through these GIFs very slowly.
Whether you long for the beach or just a few minutes of sunlight, these GIFs will hold you over until you actually get outside.
Seriously, people, please go outside.
