At UD, when it's cold.... it's cold. But the second you don't need a puffy coat anymore, we all suddenly think it's summer and time to go swimming. Well, it's February, so in the words of Disney Channel's Phineas and Ferb, we'll call it "swinter". And here are some thing that happen at UD when it's "swinter"...
1. You put on clothes that are waaay too warm.
You don't want to risk it and put on your actual summer clothes, but then you step outside and you're immediately start dripping sweat. So then...
2. You change into basically a bikini.
No, we don't actually put bathing suits on, but it's pretty close. It was 65 degrees yesterday and I had on shorts and a tank top. AND I originally had on a t-shirt and had to change again and put on the tank top. It. Is. Summer.
3. You decide that whatever you have to do, must be done outside, specifically on the Harrington turf.
Or outside Independence, if you live on North Campus. Or the Green.
*But the Harrington turf is the best!!!
4. You tell yourself you can do your homework outside.
Gather up your books and bring them outside, it's beautiful and you can for sure get your work done out there! It is due tomorrow, after all!
5. You lose all motivation to do anything.
Maybe the sun is hitting you at just the right angle, maybe someone's music is a little too loud, or maybe a group of people are playing football just a tiny bit too close to you. Whatever it is, all you want to do is sit down on your blanket and enjoy the sun (or maybe play a sport, you know, if that's your thing).
6. Maybe get some color.
Spring break came early, and you'll be showing up to class with a slight tan the next day. Or, if you're white as ghost like me, you'll get a sun burn. Which I didn't think even I could do in February, so I'm pretty proud of myself!
7. Stay outside until the sun is completely down.
Neither you or any of your friends want to be the one to initiate abandoning the beautiful weather, so you wait until the sun is down and you're starting to get chilly again.
8. Fall asleep really easily.
You're absolutely exhausted from doing absolutely nothing all day but take in the sun. Obviously your body needs that rest!
9. Complain when it gets cold again.
It can drop 7 degrees and you'll be back to complaining about the cold and locking yourself inside again.
10. Put it all over your snapchat, instagram,..
.. twitter, facebook, you get the idea. Either way, the next day all you'll be doing is skipping through all your fellow peers snapchat stories of the turf with the temperature filter over it.
