It's officially that time of year when spring stops being a distant memory and becomes something in our very near future. No matter how long winter has felt, the end is finally in sight. Mar. 20 is the Spring Equinox, which marks the official first day of spring (oh, and fun fact: it's also the day a super moon will grace the skies). Depending on where you live, this first day of the new season may still be cold, dark, and maybe even snowy, but at least it's a promise of good things to come! If you want to share the excitement over this new beginning, try posting a photo on Instagram, and use one of the first day of spring Instagram captions below to really make your photo stand out.
The great thing about the first day of spring is that it is always full of hope and happiness. As the days get longer, the sun sticks around until later, and the temperatures become slightly warmer, you start to feel motivated and ready for anything, which is awesome. Unfortunately, for most of the country, the beginning of spring still feels like, well, winter. You know the saying, "March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb?" It usually rings very true, leading us all to be a bit disappointed with the weather during the Spring Equinox.
Whether you want to joke around about the very un-spring-like weather on the first day of the season, or if you want to write something a little more serious as your caption, we've got an idea you'll love below:
