Sentence 1. I'm looking forward to the start of spring, and spring break.
Sentence 2. I'm looking forward to the start of spring, but my mother is not.
Sentence 3. I'm looking forward to the start of spring, I love seeing the flowers as they start bloom.
I'm looking forward to the start of spring and summer.
I'm looking forward to the start of spring, also the start of summer.
This winter has been so cold, however, I'm looking forward to the start of spring.
Good try.
But, Jaquelyn, your second sentence adds an independent clause (not a dependent one), and your third sentence is a comma splice.
Logan, your second sentence adds a phrase (not a clause), and your second sentence is a comma splice.
Here are some examples:
dependent clause: I am looking forward to the start of spring because I am tired of winter.
independent clause: I am tired of winter, and I am looking forward to the start of spring.
