I love Ole Miss all the time, but there's something magical about the spring.
1. Baseball season
You survived football season and wearing heels. Baseball season you can wear your XL tshirt and no one judges you.
2. Long walks through campus and Oxford
The weather is finally warm enough again and that means long walks with your best friends. I've had some of the best heart to hearts on walks in the spring. Finish your walk with a snow cone from Snow Biz. Oxford is the best place to walk, because you can walk everywhere in town and see everyone you know.
3. Lunch in the Grove
You can go pick yourself up some pimento cheese or chicken salad from James Food Center. It's the perfect picnic. I've had some of my happiest memories doing that.
4. Double Decker
Get yourself a "Big as yo head" ice cream sandwich, BBQ nachos, and Mcalister's sweet tea. It's your first real sunburn of the year and it's so fun walking around looking at what the vendors brought. You can walk to the baseball games that afternoon then walk back to the square for dinner and listen to live music.
5. TCBY Waffle Cone Wednesday
Get yourself a 99 cent waffle cone and then take it to Avant Park.
6. Get a Coke Icee at the Double Quick on Jackson Avenue
Take it the Grove and watch everyone passing by.
7. The flowers around campus get replaced with Azaleas and Tulips
The flowers in front of the Lyceum will make the worst day beautiful.
8. Your allergies are at their worst
But somehow it still seems magical, because it's Oxford and the flowers are blooming. You can't help but love your continuous sneezing.
9. Getting to ride around town with the windows down
The best mixture of warm and cold. Bonus points if you have a Coke icee while driving around.
10. Spring Formal
It's the end of an era. The seniors are leaving and you get to enjoy one last party with them.
Oxford has been so good to me and I love it more with each passing day.
