Here in Chapel Hill, we were granted the ultimate gift last week: warmer weather. We were given a little taste of summer. The only downside is that it has been rudely snatched away from us, and we are now forced to pick up the pieces of our broken hearts and accept that winter is sticking around just a little longer.

To spot a fellow summer-lover, check for these tell-tale signs:

1. Painful disappointment and grief.

When teasing like this happens, it takes a lot to get over it. Like Jess, we're pretty angry, but we also really want some soft pretzels.

2. Dressing for the right season in the wrong way...

We're upset, because, like Joey, we're asking if there's any way we could wear more clothes. Once we've felt the first summer breezes, we're not just dressing for winter when it cools off –we're dressing for winter in Siberia.

3. ...or dressing for the wrong season in the right way.

You just aren't. For the next couple weeks, it seems you're never going to be properly dressed.

4. Quad sitting.

You're toughing it out no matter the weather because it's just so dang nice to be sitting outside. Even if it's uncomfortable, cold, and definitely not going to work this time of year.

5. Open-toed shoes.

People will definitely comment on this, saying things like, "Aren't your feet cold?" but you just laugh it off, because you know your shoes are cute.

6. Serious Procrastination.

You're thinking, "Well, it's warm. Must be the end of the semester." But no, it's not, and that's a really tricky thing. Hence, lots of procrastination.

7. Irrational anger with a groundhog.

Phil SAID that there'd be six more weeks of winter, but you didn't want to actually believe it. Now you have to, and that's quite the anger-inducing disappointment.

8. "Can we have class outside?"

There's always one, and right now it's all of us. If we could just have class outside... *sigh*

9. Forgetting basketball season and skipping right to baseball.

It makes MJ cry, but basketball is a winter sport, and baseball is a summer sport. We're ready for summer! Maybe the NCAA championship can be played outside this year?

10. Mass confusion.

It just doesn't make any sense, but here we are. It's just the way it has to be, at least until summer is finally here to stay.

If you find one of these lost souls on campus (or maybe you're one of them) reach out, talk to them. See what you can do to help. They'll appreciate your sympathy, and maybe, just maybe, you'll start missing summer just as much as these sorry souls.
