We’ve waited for this moment since the day we stepped back on campus from winter break: spring! Although it may not be time to trade in the Uggs for those cute sandals you just added to your online shopping cart, spring is definitely coming to Scranton and here’s the proof.
1.) The first day that’s above 50 degrees is filled with guys walking around campus in just a t-shirt.Ok, we get that it’s nice outside, but it’s not THAT nice outside. Throw on a sweatshirt, homeboy.
2.) You can see the grass.So, maybe it’s brown and not very pretty, but for the first time in months there isn’t any snow covering the green and it is such a welcoming sight!
3.) Your regular Starbucks order is now ordered on ice.This is the best thing to happen all semester! You were really getting sick of that Hot Caramel Macchiato.
4.) You see girls out for their daily runs.This gets you thinking, “Maybe I should go on a run.” But then you soon realize you can’t walk without stumbling into something so forget about that run.
5.) Nights are filled with rain.Ok, so the weather still isn’t ideal but it could be snowing. No complaining!
6.) There are at least five groups of students playing frisbee on the Dionne Green.You may not be the greatest player on campus, but it’s a fun way to take a break from your schoolwork.
7.) The sun is out.Oh sun, how we have missed you. Time to break out those overly priced sunglasses!
8.) You start thinking about Spring Fest.Ah, such a wonderful time to be a Royal. Live music, free tank tops and of course, free food!
9.) Students are starting to dress nice for class.Wearing pajamas to class is not exactly the best way to make a good impression with your professors. We would much rather the stress of having NOTHING to wear.
10.) Your mood is much happier during this time of the year.Say goodbye to those winter blues. Spring makes us feel refreshed and ready for whatever lies ahead for the rest of the semester.
